PST vs DSS carbon driveshafts, anyone compare?
Curious as these are both out. Both have some interesting differences on how they're made and so fourth. But there is no clear winner from what I can see as just a guy researching. Having never seen or used either of their products it's bit tough to know. PST shafts are everywhere while DSS take a few weeks to make, both are within 150 bones of each other cost wise....
Anyone that has this car have chance to compare these cf shafts to each other? Reason considering cf over aluminum is the noise reduction of CF which makes seen to me. Thanks if you can provide info on either or have some experience with both!

Whilst I appreciate the question being asked I doubt there will be too many people who have bought both to do a side by side comparison. I have read elsewhere of issues that have plagued the odd shaft by both PST and DSS.

CFDS or even an aluminum DS is on the list for "one day" though. |

Why do you say that? I'm genuinely curious how you came to that conclusion. Not at all trying to debate what you say there because I have no opinion or evidence of the contrary, but I'd like to see some evidence or whatever your source of such information is because I would like to know the answer about that myself. No offense but the word of some random person on the internet isn't exactly a reliable enough source of information for me to make my decision on.

Yes, exactly. This is where I'm coming from too, and thus why I'd like some EMPIRICAL evidence of said claims. Without testing of some sort (tearing both apart and examining the layup of the fibers, pushing both to the point of failure, measuring twist/bend/etc under load, spinning both and checking for any funny resonances, etc) any claims of one being better than the other is based purely on the grounds of cosmetics (which I don't care about).
