Driveshaft clearance question
I'm considering either a 4 inch Aluminum powerhouse drivehsaft or the steel piece from the drivehsaft shop. Just wondering what the final word is on clearance issues with a 4inch shaft is. I see some sites claim the 4 inch shafts will have clearance issues if the car is lowered or if there are more than two people in the car. I don't plan on lowering, but don't want something that's going togive me problems if I have a car full of people. Any help or opinions on this will be welcome. Thanks

I have the powerhouse shaft, and the rear of my car is lowered with Roush springs. I have no issues with clearance whatsoever.
Now then, I have not carried any passengers in my back seat since the swap, so I can't comment on that.

CrazyAl how low do the Roush springs drop the rear and did you only do the rear?
I currently run the Eibach Pro kit and have been thinking of gettng the PH Shaft but like the orignal poster if there are clearance issues then i cannot get it. I actually do load kids in the back of my car from time to time.

I wanted a very mild drop becasue I think if the car gets too low it looks ricey, and also there are some horrible roads near where I live. The rear end drop helps the car sit level, and at the same time it doens't compromise ground clearance or screw with the front end alignment.
