or someone might have a spare

you only need to do the passenger side from what I understand. You make a hybrid axle from an oem green and an oem spec v for the drivers side. Josh has details, and it worked out well for him.

If you can get OEM b15 axles and you use b15 knuckles & b15 hubs, you shouldnt need to make a hybrid axle.
The oems should work just fine.

Since I want to keep my brakes and wheel setup, I would prefer to retain the 4x100 bolt pattern. Not much info here on the hybrid axle...

You can retain your wheel setup if you drill the b15 stuff to 4x100, but you do lose your brake setup.
The info about hybrid axles is sprinkled in some build threads. Coheeds, Ashton?, mine. (ashton has at least two build threads)
The problem with it is finding b13 and b15 axles that use the same spline type mid shafts.

I've come to the conclusion that I want to keep my wheels and i dont care about getting different brakes, even though I wont be able to use the 13" drag slick setup that I already bought. Right now mine has become more of a daily since my wife wrecked my cobalt last week. But I dont have time to go find B15 brakes/spindles in a junkyard.

After doing this setup and having the 4x114 in the front and 4x100 in the rear I thought I was lucky in the sense that I had Enkeis drilled for both so I didnt have to buy new rims. I did of course do new bearings and hub al the way around but didn't take the opportunity to just bite the bullet and go 5 lug, sell the wheels and buy new ones. I now would like to throw on some different rims but finding anything in a 4 lug any more is getting quite difficult. My point being, if you have the time, patience and money I would consider the 5 lug conversion as it will increase your options for newer rims. Just my 2yen worth.

You are using the 2.5's transmission for 6 speed swap, thus you would want to use 2.5's axles too
