IMO, spend the money on something else. If you have lots of money, sure...go get it, but they aren't that much lighter than the stock piece. At least not for the price IMO

My Frpp aluminum driveshaft was alot lighter than my stock, and I believe they are stronger than stock also.. It is worth the money--IMO

I only did one because a shop screwed me over and gave me a bum yoke when I got the car back. I didn't notice any performance gain, and I beilve it was either 8 or 9 pounds lighter than stock, I weighed it at work and wasn't really impressed with the difference.

IMO unless you need it for some reason (bad yoke etc) save your money.

Once the car is running again i am going to comment on this. my setup is: Findaza al. flywheel, Dual Friction stage 2 clutch, and al. drive shaft, with 4.10s..........also i dont think it will make a big diff. but i order some billet lightweight cam gear spacers (i lost mine[:@]) and they are suppose to be 80% lighter than stock to help with quicker acceleration. IDK thought "what the hell" u know...

Don't bother with aluminum driveshafts for your mildly modified cars. You don't need them. Put your money into other things.

I had the FRPP aluminum driveshaft (and safety loop) put in my car in hopes to minimize the possiblity of trailoringthe little yellow buggy home from the track. Ths old D?S u-joints were beginning to click so I figured why not replace the whole thing? The cost difference to get it done was not that big a difference. Bigger yokes, better U-joints, less mass (every little pathetic bit helps) and stronger over all than stock. For the most part it is a comfort move more than anything. I do notice less back lash now which clearly indicates the old U-joints were weak.

Some of you should realize that not every modification done to a car is just to gain horsepower. I've read enough about a smoother ride at freeway speeds and less driveline vibration and a tiny SOTP feeling that I'm going to spend a couple bucks on one for my car.

The benefits will be greater on a high horsepower car.
