Default Half Shafts

Who makes aftermarket half shafts. I was thinking something like chrome molly. I know they make carbon fiber but I'm not ready to re mortgage my house for a half shaft . And I also need some input on where to get a 6 link set up. I believe there is one or two guys who make theme but can't remember who.

Any decent driveshaft shop can fab up some halfshafts for you. VanSteel and Toms Differentials also sells them. Dragvette is almost done with their 6 link. Norval has a 6 link. There are also a few pages on making your own 6 link here. http://www.corvettefaq.com/listing.asp?group=3

Is Dragvette a vendor that plans on mass producing a 6 link setup? How much do you think the cost will be?

Also if i plan to stick with my stock halfshafts/drive shafts, is it ok to POR-15 them?

Sorry for piggybacking but I was JUST thinking about this thread the other day

yes, dragvette is planning on mass producing the 6 link. Not sure if por15 will throw the balance off for the halfshafts. If it doesnt, then there is no reason you cant por15 it.
