I just picked up a new 4" Shaftmasters aluminum shaft for $425 shipped. Its hard to argue with that price IMO. I just called them on the phone...

I thought that the 4" DS had some clearance issues, especially on lowered cars.

Some people have reported clearance issues on 4" shafts, while some say its fine. I have no intention of ever lowering the car, so I'm not worried about it. For $425 shipped to my door, this one should work nicely.

Cool, I'm having mine installed along with a set of 3.73 gears on Friday. I expect the car to be a handful with the blower after those additions.

Yeah be careful man. I'm sure it will be a handful after all that especially with those tires.
