anyone using STEEDA's Al. Drive shaft?
how is it?
is it compatible with short throw shifters, and lowered cars?
what is the hp rating?
thanks,
doc

I got one a few weeks ago. I think it is a good mod, but you can get a Spydershaft for a lot less (the Steeda driveshaft looks just like the Spydershaft). I got the Steeda driveshaft because I purchased a bunch of Steeda stuff from a Steeda-authorized Ford dealership and had it all installed at the dealership for warranty purposes.

I have a Steeda Tri-Ax shifter and have no problems. I'm not lowered (driveway issues), but I think the Spydershaft works well with lowered cars. Not sure about the hp rating - probably at least 500 rwhp.

I have no vibration from this driveshaft. It's just as smooth as stock (without the clunkiness!).

I'm pretty sure that the Steeda is the Spydershaft. They sell a lot of other people's stuff as well as their own. Save money, get a Spydershaft.

Damn Jesse... .LOL... like the 4th place I see this question!

yep, theirs is probably an overpriced unit from someone else they are buying.

I was thinking this too.

The original owner of my car installed the steeda alum DS, then removed due to high speed vibration. Now it is sitting in my basement. He installed the DS himself, so it's possible the vibration was due the DIY.

Slight chance it was a DIY error. It is a very easy swap. You could re-install it and see if you get vibration. If you do, uninstall it, rotate it 180 degrees and try it again.

Do a search for the Spydershaft, you will find that most everyone has positive things to say about it, and recent reports of Steeda's customer service would make me cautious. Just my opinion of course, but if the product works and is considerably cheeper, why buy Steeda?
