If anyone has any other links for driveshafts please post them.I'm shopping now.I've about had it with Powerhouse.I sent a e-mail requesting a price,so I sent the salesman my addy so he can figure out shipping...next e-mail states he has no idea who I am. Looks like due to poor customer service I could save a couple hundred $$$$

As long as you have not lowered your car you should be good to go and just slam it in there. If you have lowered it you will need adjustable UCA's to correct the pinion angle.

As long as I've been waiting to get an aluminum shaft, now I have to hear that. Looks like getting the shaft will cost me more than it's worth (to me). What's worse is I've been waiting for spyder to get off his *** and start selling the darn things so I could buy one cheap from him![:@] (Looks like he's turning quite a profit on them, BTW. Didn't he say it only cost him about $300 to have his made? Add to that, he's not warrantying it or allowing a return.[

On my list for future mods!. It seems to make sense to lighten the rotating mass and have less moving parts. I guess I can drive mine til it breaks or justdo a premptive strike and replace it!
Wouldn't an adjustable LCA work also? I don't want to have to buy things twice.
