Reddez said he got commodore axels and went to get them shortened and re splined, but there wasnt enuff metal on the commodor axels to do it, so he had to get his get his gemini axels re studded.

I'd keep the front calipers for use in an upgrade. If it has rear discs, the mounts, handbrake and calipers should be the same as described in Gene's rear disc conversion in the workshop. The rear shockers are the same on both sedans, Commodore and Gemini.

A lot of work, and i don't recommend it, axles are useless unless theyre v8 axles, they can be resplined if you want, costs bout the same as restudding the gemi ones, over $400 to get em done, however take the rear disks if it has em, coz if you dont use em someone on here will buy em...
