Default Breaks and Pads and Driveshaft

I am putting in my TT settup in a week and need to order new breaks and pads for my car. I drag race it alot but dont want drag specific pads as I .... lets just say have been known to do in excess of the speed limit on hiways and need good breaks for road applications as well. Also I am looking for a good (light) driveshaft that will handle over 1000rwhp as well if yall have any recommendations. I am looking at spydershaft but if yall have another idea lemme know.

Let me know what you guys think are the best you can buy (money is no object) that yall have tried.

Thanks,
James

the selection of DS for 1000HP is limited.....i dont think a spydershaft will handle that at all.....

also,
what rear end you have
what transmission you running

we need more details of your application?

You may be looking at a custom DS for that much power. Most aftermarkets tap out after 600-700 hp.

The driveshaft shop. They make the DS you'll be needing. Around $800.00 shipped if I remember what I paid correctly.

Look at beefing up the rear end (welding the tubes, new axles, etc, etc.)

Different trans for sure.

My apologies, you didn't say what you were running. You can get the DS at the Driveshaft shop.

whats up, James. good to hear your getting that TT that you wanted. i havent done my brakes yet, but i'm looking the usual suspects: baer, brembo, wilwood. and the spydershaft wont hold up to that much hp, probly need a custom DS.

Sorry guys my current settup is as follows with the new parts listed...

**Custom Engine Rebuild by Team Shinoda (will handle the power that will EVENTUALLY be over 1000HP hopefully)
**9" moser rear end (future as well)
**TR6060 (future)
Turbo Horsepower Twin T61 settup (installed by team shinoda as well)
Spec 3+ clutch
GT Supercar fuel pumps
Full Shinoda lvl 3 suspension (Ebauch springs, UPR LCAs, ebach front and rear sway bar, along with a new adjustable panhard bar, and new shock/strut assemblys in the front)
10.5" Hossiers
along with some other stuff

The main thing were working on is the driveshaft that will be able to handle the current goal of 515RWHP along with my future goals of over 800RWHP along with breaks that can handle some major punishment and can stop 3500lbs going over 100mph.

If yall need any other specifics lemme know, its after midnight so excuse the misspellings its not my strong point.
