Default 1-pc drive shaft

I just got the go ahead to order my drive shaft from brenspeed...birthday present

either way, i have some BMR suspension mods including LCA's and an eibach pro-kit. If i put this driveshaft from brenspeed on my car, will i HAVE to add the relocation brackets for the LCA's or can i get away without them? I am just trying to figure out what all i need to order before i jump *** deep in an install and realize that it wont work..

thanks guys

You don't need the relo brackets for the drive shaft. You should check your pinion angle to see if it needs adjusting. Most on the forum say if the LCAs are not adjustable, you should have installed the brackets when you installed the LCAs.

if your lowered the re-location brackets will be a big help IMO. However if your pinion is set at -2* without the re-locs then your cool.

dschmink that's a great write up! if you are lowing and then putting on a 1-piece D/S I'd go ahead and get the relocation brackets...or either an adjustable UCA...or both

ok, one more question...which is better? the dynotech from brenspeed or the spydershaft. The spydershaft is cheaper by about 200 bucks but has 1330-SERIES U-JOINTS but can be upgraded to 1350 size for an addition charge. Do i really need the upgraded u-joints???
