i think they share the same floor plan so i would go with a yes on that m8 if not i don't think they'll be to far off each other.

take the back shock off and compare and where the lower bolt goes through there is an extra length of tube on the end just trim that off, its obvious when you have them side by side

calibra's share the same IRS as 4x4 cavs and the gsi. the calibra is basically a 2door gsi.
