DSS vs PST Carbon Driveshafts

Hey guys. I'm in the market for a new carbon driveshaft and realize getting a "dry" carbon driveshaft is pretty much pointless now since Velox stopped making theirs and JFiber is located overseas and don't respond to my emails. So...has anyone actually measured their Carbon driveshaft from DSS and from PST. I think DSS comes in a 12.1 lbs but I can't find any info for PST as far as weight and size comparison.

If anyone has actually weighed/measured theirs It'd be nice to know! I'm just trying to justify why PST cost $1148 vs DSS $944.

Also if anyone knows where I can get a "Dry" vs Wet driveshaft...any info would be nice! Thanks guys.

We will be producing our driveshafts again, finally. We were having issues with getting the price to where we needed it and those issues have been resolved. We should be stocking them in the next month or two.

Thanks,
Eric

Will the price be comparable to before or different?

No, we did not want to raise the price which is why we suspended production.

Thanks,
