broke something at Milan

[WhippleCharged Sonic]

Good info. I'm in no way trying to say that the DSS shafts are worse than the stockers, assume they are much stronger like everyone says. I'm just saying for $500 you wouldn't expect probs, and for $1000-$1600 for half shafts you would expect nothing but perfection. Those prices are out of this world.

Me either. I am pretty happy thus far with mine. Just saying that if they break AND I don't get warrantied then SRA all the way for me. I bought them because I snapped a stocker. If I hadn't I would probably still be using the stockers.

+1
While there is nothing else in the market you can price em like you made them outta gold.
I agree there too high price for the average guy who wants an upgrade.

JPjr I don't have your halfshaft but I do have your toe link bar.;-)

I wouldn't have bought level 5's if it weren't for Vector dropping a great deal in my lap. Same for the CCW's

My bad!!

Consequently, the best $for$ mod has been my rims. 4 chromies 18x9, 18x10.5 for $600 brand new off ebay. I wish everything was like that...

this is the argument that people make when they've spent over $1000 on a pair of half shafts. trust me, i know

up to you really but postban has nitto's

Nittos(as with other DR tires)=wheel hop= broken

whats good to know with the level 5s is you wont be Twisting the outerstub

need i remind you what happens if you twist the outer stub when moving at speed?
that alone is worth EVERY penny

just because they are stronger doesnt mean they cant break it takes alot more to damage them nothing cant be broken its just what it takes to do it.

I had my Strange 10-ways set at ultra cushy zero and had no hop of any kind. Not while I was bogging at the line (5 out of 6 launches) or roasting the tires off at the 15ft line at 5krpm launches. Level 5 IRS/RED PILL irregardless of the halfshafts works. Bushings, brackets, brace and bars.........simple.

670+rwhp, full boogie launches, no hop.

Bilsteins woulda worked fine...

contemplating alot of things now, auto, live axle, selling the car, burning a doob, melting an ak47 bbl...

oh yeah, got the halfshaft out in 9 minutes

 

[JP]

:idea: Auto, Two step, Delay box, Skinnies up front, big ole slicks out back that should do it.:idea:
Your so far in now don't give up on making it a full street race car.

I'll race you for pinks if you wanna be on TV.
Although if you win you'll have to give the car back in a couple months when my LEASE is up.

If it aint one thing its another.
