I'm part of the "over 100" and am totally pleased. After a 3 month fiasco with vibrations form another DS, I went with Spyder's and my woes are gone. You can't go wrong with the Spyder DS.

Spyder:
Just ordered my 3.73 and some other stuff forthesuspensionyesterday. It'll be a couple months but once I get everything installed and get adj control arms I'll be contacting you about this mod. It would seem that this is indeed a worthwhile mod once I get the suspension set up the way I want it

Only Carbon Fiber DS I know of is by BMR and it's over $1k. As a matter of fact, it's not even on their site anymore. ??? Ron (Spyder) is a regular Mustang guy that knows what works and after a year of testing decided to do this for us in the Mustang community.

No sweat Man, I didn't take your comment the wrong way. The BMR one was supposed to be for over 1k hp. Insane huh?

yea that is pretty ****** expensive for a ds wats so good about it anyway compared to the aluminum one do they weigh less or do they just absorb more of the vibrations

I just had my Spydershaft installed yesterday (along with a new heavier duty clutch for the track). Today, I just blew down the interstate with the speedo pegged at 140. NO VIBRATION whatsoever. Car is smoother overall, feels likea different car.
