Default S60 and Driveshaft are in! *PICS*

Well, I finally got my car back yesterday after my friend Al installed my S60 and driveshaft for me in his shop. He also took the time to cut my lower control arm relocation brackets off my old housing and weld them on the new axle, which saved me from having to buy new ones. So far, I love it - except for the fact that I am getting whine from about 35-55 MPH when the gears are "floating" at a steady speed. Not a big deal, as I called DTS and they said to bring it down to them on Weds and they're going to install a new gearset in there for free. That's service! I also had a pair of M/T ET Street radials put on today so I can put the power down to the track when I finally go again. Just waiting on my clutch from Monster to arrive and after the break in, 11's here I come!

I had a custom made chromoly shaft with 1350 U-joints. DTS built it for me. It's shorter than stock, for sure.
