DSS is proud to announce we have started making the direct bolt on rear axles and both a Aluminum and Carbon driveshaft for the BRZ, over the last few months we have made quite a few custom parts for some of the top drift teams and now we have the parts for your car. Higet Hp version coming soon...

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.

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?

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?

white devil · 01-10-2013, 06:22 PM

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