Carbon fiber Driveshafts

Hey guys,

Seen alot of adds for carbon fiber driveshafts lately. They don't seem like they would be that strong and would twist alot.

Has anyone heard anything about them?

Thank you:hail: :hail: :hail:

Re: Carbon fiber Driveshafts

From what I have heard they are extremely strong torsionally but if you give them a strong blow from the side they will shatter. Carbon fiber driveshaft are nice because of there low weight which means less rotating mass. But is it worth $800, I don’t really think so but some people have already done everything in the world to their car and they finish it off with something like this.

They are to expensive and unnecessary for the average modded car. Just buy a 1LE Aluminum Dr shaft if you want lighter weight.
