run them in front and rear! they are solid allumnium pices with poly bushings inserted to give flex they are really an amazing part for the money i have pics of them on my assemebly, and some close ups too. if you have a carbon drive shaft you will have to mill some additional clearance in the drive shaft hub for the bushing retainer on the coupler, if any one needs this done i can do it on a CNC with a fixture that i made up for mine.

We ran one of these on our race car this season, it looks like a nice piece and we had high hopes for it, unfortunately it lasted not much longer that the stock units (4 race weekends vs. three)

Just curious, did you notice any change in wheel hop before and after?
Do you have any pics of how they failed or where they failed?

I'd like to know more about the nature of the failure, and what type of racing/HP level are you at?

The ureathane bushing was distorted and beat out, the bolts then broke due to the movement. I am not saying that the part was no good or a bad design, it just didn't hold up any better than the stock setup.
