Why does RPM Outlet suck? I've ordered from them before and no problems...

The spyder is cheaper than that driveshaft, and lighter weight. Also, the downside of the spider is you have to install the included pinion flange which makes the install a bit more involved. But the driveshaft you linked to also uses a different flange.

So yeah, go with the spyder.

That looks like the Coastal Driveshaft. Maybe? Check out Tacobills install writeup.
