Thanks for the feedback. I went ahead and placed an order for the 4 inch shaftermasters single piece driveshaft. I am going to be running stock hight at first but want to lower it a bit. I have a set of 20 inch razors that will be going on the car. If I can lower 1 inch with the FRPP springs and not rub, I will be happy. For me as well, it is only my wife and 6 yo, so it should be okay.

Yes, you will be fine . The Shaftmasters 4" is among the best on the market.

Interesting piece of information. I was exchanging emails with David at Shaftmasters prior to my ordering their driveshaft. David told me that their information is that on the 2010 Mustangs Ford removed the floor pan interferance issue that was on the 2005-09 Mustangs. This makes clearance a non-issue. He further said if I had any issue with the DS at all, they would fully refund within 30 days. That is standing behind the product in my opinion. I ordered the DS and look forward to putting it all together.

Now if my car would just get here. Was supposed to arrive today, but just heard from the dealer, it has been pushed back to the 18th

Shaftmasters is a great product. I've been running mine for over 80,000 miles now with no problems. A lot of those miles were on the track too so I haven't treated it gently, and have upgraded the suspension so it is quite bit tighter than stock. Don't make the "higher price = better quality" mistake - Shaftmasters has the best price out there, and a quality product. You can pay more, but I don't think you will find a better shaft.

I agree with the "higher price=higher quality" mistake.
And that goes a long way.
The challenge is to get educated enough so you don't pay the higher price on everything you buy. Not an easy task really.

The "You pay for your ignorance" is so true and proven that we need to pay more attention to it.

Anyone with 4.10's have the Shaftmasters d/s?

If so, any issues with vibrations, noise, or really bad stuff near 100-115mph?

I have a 3000 TCI stall converter and 410s with a 4in. coast aluminum shaft and no issues. I concur the power seems to get to the ground smoother and quicker. Some people wont understand till they install a one piece driveshaft. A great mod.
