Question Where to get the best ALUMINUM driveshaft?

Just as it states....I broke my rear end (10 bolt)and apparently my driveshaft as well. I already have the Moser 12 bolt - 33 spline - 3.73 - 4 channel setup in the car right now. I don't want a carbon fiber driveshaft, it has got to be aluminum, but at a reasonable price. Thanks.

I'm running a steel driveshaft made up by the local machine shop. Can't beat the price & the since the rotating mass is fairly small I don't think it's any major detriment to performance.

Ditto. Thing is mint. No vibrations either, smooth as glass on the highway.

However, my car is currently only a high 12 sec. car. I've run it twice at the strip only launching at 2500RPMs, and beaten it daily (since replacement)

Good so far, I'd recommend it over the LG driveshaft. If you want the best, and are going for a long run kind of replacement, go with the Mark Williams shaft.

I bought the LPE one, because it was only 275 bucks shipped to my door, and I'll be going with a MW shaft later on.
