Yea, they do.

Prices for S197 driveshafts are insane right now.

I thought they once had that.

What was the difference between the two. (obviously 3.5" to 4") but why did they rid of the 3.5.

They still have the 3.5 inch.

It is 3.5 for clearance issues.

god damn it. i shouldve pulled the trigger on this while they were cheaper. [:@]

i dont think there is much of a real difference other than the 3.5 was a lot more expensive. i thought the theory was the smaller shaft had less rotational mass/ turning radius or something, but i dont think anyone has really proved it on the dyno or track that its superior to the 4.i think they are about the same weight too. i could be wrong.


edit: i guess its just for clearance issues.

More rpm usually requires a larger diameter shaft. I had someone tell me this i don't know if its true.
