WHICH ONE PIECE DRIVE SHAFT...?
So even though I did my last mod just about two months ago....I'm already thinking about a bunch of others....
Top on the list is a one-piece aluminum DS...I've read a bunch of threads about all three choices.... looking for some addtional insite from those who have been using them.....
Please vote for the DS of choice...if you have one and would use a different one if you were doing it again...please also vote for your new choice....
Thanks for your help!!

RE: WHICH ONE PIECE DRIVE SHAFT...?
Sorry, I can't help much. However, I did notice that Steeda has one on their site, too.
http://www.steeda.com/products/fidan...hafts_s197.php
I'm very interested in these results. I keep reading people with vibration problems (particularly with the auto, like mine), clearence issues and all sorts of problems.
Has the aftermarket solved ALL of these problems, yet? Or maybe I should wait another year or so?
I've even heard that my pinion angle is going to be off, despite the fact that I'm at stock ride height. So, I guess I'll need an adjustable upper control added at the same time I do the driveshaft?
$600 + for the driveshaft plus $125 for the upper control arm. It starts to get very expensive quickly.

Spydershaft here Dave,
No clearance or vibration issues. Went in in about 15 minutes, and you can't beat the price. When we went 135mph last wk at JDM, Jim Sr commented on how much less my Spydershaft vibrated at that speed compared to others in cars he has driven. Hope this helps.

SpyderShaft here too. You might want to ask Spyder first though, 'cause I don't know if that driveshaft is for both stick and automatics, I can't remember.
