I've used DSS axles in the past. I beat the crap out of them for 7 years then sold them at "a steel" for half what I paid. The buyer is still using them and beating on them. I have nothing but good to say about DSS products, and when I needed to replace a boot I found that their service is top notch to.

Yep, they have a pretty awesome reputation from every forum I've been to and seen users posting about their stuff.

I assume by them not posting the same info on this board (unless I missed it) they are not a vendor on this forum unfortunately.

Has anyone broken an OEM one yet?

Crawford has if i remember correctly

In terms of build the reared on this car, what else has to be beefed up aside from the axles to survive hard launches with a high hp car?

Diff.

My tuner for the speed3 broke multiple 500hp DSS axles on his 330hp speed6. But that was with lots of track time.

I love their carbon STI driveshafts. I bet this one will be great as well. I was just given a hopeful 3-4 week ETA on the carbon shaft.

We will have pictures and videos up of the aluminum version in the next day or so, just finished doing some final testing on it.

What is the pricing and weight of the CF shaft?

-Acree

estimate is around $999 for the carbon and roughly half of that for the aluminum, according to The Driveshaft Shop

prob close to 1g and very light lol

it is lighter but I don't remember by how much, sorry

10lbs lighter

Am I blind or do they not have the drive shaft listed on the site? I see the axles....

Any idea how much lighter the aluminum shaft will be?

im sorry i should of clarified, the aluminum shaft is 3.5" diameter and is 10lbs lighter, the CF shaft will be in the same range of weight decrease though

If a driveshaft breaks under a hard launch, I'd rather have the carbon fiber one under there (:

We have heavy duty diffs available?

umm toyota is developing a mechanical diff (probably trd)?

could a supra rear diff be equipped?

im sure someone has a rear diff you can buy that is better

its been soo long, is the rear diff out of an is250? if it is im sure you can find an aftermarket solution through the lexus is forums

will have a new post up shortly with the install pics and official pricing details

Aroominum?

That's one sexy shaft you have there.

Are you considering putting that shaft in your undercarriage?

He'd have to make sure to properly lubricate it first.

And make sure all fasteners are sufficiently tight.
