The Driveshaft Shop is the ONLY place to go for those items. They are currently in more than a few of the fastest corvettes on the planet. DSS is known as the absolute best of the best in the industry.
While we love quite a bit of the pfadt product; when it comes to driveshafts, axles, output shafts, etc... It is DSS hands down. You will find that this will be the general consensus.

I can attest to their quality from previous drive shafts i have had from them as well as other friends who have had it from them

they made a few aluminum shafts for my TA and never a problem with them
i say a few because i damaged one when the 10 bolt center rotated on me and did some damage

He's referring to DSS. Pfadt doesnt offer an Aluminum shaft.

Yes, we have run them. They are just like all of their other products. Perfect..

That was not a DSS shaft for the record. Frank offers only the highest quality of product on the market. He has helped my with my builds for over 10 years. I am proud to say we worked together to produce the first 300m half shafts for the c5/c6.

I just saw the DSS Carbon Fiber shaft in person, it's a work of art! No guibos being used which is a huge advantage.

You can PM me for sale pricing on all of Frank's great DSS products.

I have the first DSS Carbon shaft in my car. He sent me the prototype to test. I have around 5k miles on it. Smooth as glass all the time, and being that it has no guibos and is much lighter, it allows the transmission to shift much faster an easier.

I can't say enough about Frank and his products, they are top notch.

I have 30+ 5500rpm launches in my car with a 275/60R15 Hoosier Drag radial.

If you guys need any info on this shaft as far as fitment, performance, or would like to order one, please feel free to call or e-mail.

I have been using a LG Motorsport CF shaft for the last 3 years. I bent the OEM shaft then switched. Works great on track & street

Good stuff TJ. I would imagine that RPM has bought and installed more of these then all the rest. They are the premium tranny and differential vendor here..........
