Hello

I have stock (engine-wise) 2020 BRZ and it seems I have bent driveshaft joints after 3 years of use (possibly leading to transmission leakage which was detected first). Since OEM driveshaft is kinda expensive (around 1500 usd in EU) I'm considering some aftermarket options that wouldn't fail so quickly,

Any suggestions? Is it... I wouldn't say "normal" but within expectations to kill driveshaft on stock BRZ in 3 years? It's driven pretty hard, also on track, using tw80 / tw100 tyres so there may be some slightly increased stress on it coming from increased grip but it shouldn't be too bad I believe... I dunno.
