Default S60 and Driveshaft

Okay so this week I should be ordering my s60 and driveshaft. It's gonna be the street version with truetrac and 4.10 gears. The part that I'm mainly confused about is the driveshaft. Mild steel, aluminum, or chromoly? I'm gonna do 3" but I know the s60 requires a shorter driveshaft. Not sure on the length of the driveshaft and I'll be ordering it with the s60 so I can't put it in and measure so who here has an s60 and could let me know what dimensions I need for the driveshaft. Also I'm clueless on the yokes especially on the transmission yoke and which ones are best.

I'm pretty sure Strange lists how much shorter than stock the driveshaft has to be (1.25" or something like that). Measure your stocker and go from there. Or PST probably knows the length of the stocker.

Talk to midwest chassis. Strange builds their driveshafts per order, so every one is technically custom. PST keeps regular ones in stock but would have to make one for your application. I ordered a Strange chromeoly from MWC last week, I found it to be the best price/weight/strength ratio.
