Half shaft loops
Just curious, anyone running half shaft loops? I inspect things often but they seem like good insurance. Car is far from stock so the stress on the drivetrain is high.

I run the dragvette loops for aftermarket arms (curved mounting pad vs stock flat pad)

If I remember correctly you also run a little blower? Good idea I think.

I think they are worth the investment. Cheaper to buy than to make. Here is a write-up I did on them.
