Looking for a good drive shaft
Wondering whats a good drive shaft thats not too expensive. Im seeing them for around the $150 range. Also looking for a good set of U-Joints.
Going in an 01' Camaro Z28 with a 4L80e transmission and stock 10 bolt rear end (for now)
Thanks

Curious on why you're upgrading the driveshaft? A good driveshaft isn't cheap. U have a A4 so it will last alil longer. I run a PST driveshaft ~480 bucks. I don't think u will find a driveshaft for that price range but you could upgrade your u-joints for cheap if you wanted.

Give Carl at CRP a call, I ordered a Strange Engineering driveshaft through him and it wasn't too expensive at all.

The Driveshaft Shop can do a 3.5" aluminum that can connect to the stock rearend and send you the appropriate U-Joint if you want to upgrade to a 12-bolt down the road. I went with them because they have the equipment to actually dynamically balance their driveshafts upto 9000 RPM.

I meant the $150 range, as far as used, not new. I have over $11k invested and Im sure I'll be upgraded the rear end to a 12 Bolt/9" in the future, but for now, I dont want to buy anything and have to rebuy it later, meaning Id like for the U-Joints to be universal with whatever rear end I end up going with. Im hearing "Spicer" makes some good ones but I know theyre solid also. This will be a weekend cruiser/street-strip car, not driven very often.
