Default Driveshaft Questions?!?!

I am a new owner of a 00' TA. The car came with a d s60 but no ds. I know the factory one is a bit too long. Will the factory ds work with just being cut? If so how short does it have to be cut? Are the yolks the same on the s60 and the factory rear? What other options do i have? By the way i will be using a m12 or t56.

The stock driveshafts are very thin and weak, I wouldn't waste your time with one.

Take a look at the PST driveshafts that I carry. The links have the info you need to figure out the correct length and what size yoke your rear has. Bob

Carl at Central Racing Parts sells S60s and matching drive shafts, either he or Strange knows the correct length you'll need. The DS will come with a front yoke and 1350 u-joints.
Bob has good advice too.

Just wait till your transmission is in and measure. That way you know 100% it will be correct.

I have an s60 with a 4l80e and just purchased a pst 3.5" alm from Bob at brute speed.
