The spyder driveshaft seems to be very popular.

I have 4.10s and powerhouse DS and it is hoot...i had the gears months earlier so when i put on the DS you could tell...The car reacts fast and jumps faster.

worth it in my opinion. I was going to get the spyder but i got lucky and bought the powerhouse from a forum member cheaper than the spyder

Now that the originator is happy, Who makes a 3.5" aluminum DS that is a direct bolt in with the adapter. I am not interested in alot of dissassembly. Thanks,

NOTE: The reason I was looking for the 3.5" is that I have heard that sometimes there are clearance issures with the 4" and I dont feel like hammering the underbody of my car.
