    Anyone using the aluminum PST Driveshaft?

    PST Aluminum/Steel Hybrid 2-piece Driveshaft for AWD TT/VR4*-*Mitsubishi 3000GT*/*Dodge Stealth Parts

    How does it compare to the stock drive shaft and CF shaft? Will it survive all the abuse I could throw at it?

    Looks like quite a few people have installed these, including IPO on his personal car. Have they survived any impressive 60's? What's the fastest speed people have driven with them?

    Is the PST shaft similar to drive shaft shop's?

    The wife ordered the PST one for me last week =)

    I had a failed lobro boot. I hilllbilly engineered a boot on it. The DS Shop one only replaces first 2 sections.

    Had mine for about a year. It has only seen about 140 mph, and only abused by bpu 9b's.

    Not had any issues, and was slightly noticeable after install.

    It is nice that the PST one eliminates all 3 sections. I just hate that it doesn't seem to have any speed or power ratings.

    I have been running one since I started drag racing. Been perfect ever since. Very hard launches as I'm sure you know.

    Exactly the sort of response I was hoping for

    Unless someone says something negative about this shaft, I think I'll order it this afternoon.

    I wish I had painted a line down mine when it was new. If you do end up buying one would you mind doing this? Id like to see if they twist after hard launches. I am going to add one on mine before next season.

    One negative point which I was unaware of...looks like the carrier bearing is different than OEM and priced at $170 from 3SX.
