snapped 3 U-joimts, broke halfshaft, and busted the rearend yoke.
Where can I get these parts. I don't want factory replacments. I want something that will not break again. Thanks :D :cool:

Depends on how wild you want to go. I'm using spicer cold forged u-joints right now from http://www.speeddemonmotorsports.com They also sell billet outer spindles. For halfshafts you can always go to http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com and get some of their steel halfshafts.

The Spicer Cold forged U-joints are definately the way to go.

get yourself some Carbon fiber halfshafts, billet spindles and some nice U-joints.... That should hold

White, I know it's a PITA that all of this gear broke on you, but happy, happy, joy, joy that you're making so much power that this stuff is breaking! :D
Hang in there!

HOW MUCH WILL THOSE HALF SHAFTS SLOW ME DOWN. What about the aluminum halfshafts made by dennys?

Sorry, I had to. It's 2:30 in the morning and I've been working on a PhD stat test for 4 days straight now, 15 hours a day...I'm delirious!
Seriously though, the simple answer is to think of going from a car with a steel driveshaft to one with an aluminum driveshaft, but in reverse. Yes, the aluminum will allow the car to accelerate faster because of the lower inertia, but not by much, and by far less that the custom 2 piece half shafts you have now.

You're not the only one lurking in the shadows on those!
