Like the title says. Looking for a carbon drive shaft. Located in SW Ohio. Willing to travel. Velox preferred but will entertain other brands.

Bump - I really want an OG Velox/Verus carbon drive shaft. If the condition is good I will pay $1200.

Why don't you call Verus? $1174.95 with free shipping?

Because they revised the part and the new one is 15+ pounds vs 10.9 for the OG shaft. I already received one of the new heavy ones and shipped it straight back to them.

I have a verus driveshaft I purchased Dec 2019, maybe couple hundred miles on it total, car is being parted out once I get it off I can weigh it if you're still interested. Located near Buffalo NY.

If it is the 10.9 lb version I will pay $1200 plus shipping. Send me a PM when you take it off and we can work out the details.

The fact of the matter is the new version is 15+ lb and is a significantly different part. As for why they don't update their website with this information you would have to ask them. As you can imagine when I was expecting 10.9lb part and got a 15+lb part I sent it straight back.

Interesting. I'd be concerned why they beefed it up. Possible failures with the lighter one?

I have the DSS one they say is 12.2 lbs. I've had it for years, and smooth as silk.

Edit: accidentally posted the auto trans one. Manual is same price/claimed weight.

Will do, I can already tell you the ends look completely different from the one you posted up, mine looks basically the same as the photos verus has on their website.

Perfect. That’s the one I’m looking for.
