I am thinking of getting a solid driveshaft. Which is the better one Fidanza or Lakewood? My car is lowered with roush suspension so would the 3" steel be better for clearance or would the 3 1/2 aluminum sill give me clearance?
how low is it? usually lowering from 0 to -1.5" it's fine. if you drop it 2" or more you have to have an adjustable UCA to correct the geometry thrown off by lowering. there's a couple cars at 1.5" that did need to adjust pinion angle but most are fine where they are at.
I will have to get one. Perhaps sometime next year. I don't plan on going crazy with a drop. I am looking at the K springs.
Thanks for the long chat at the track spyder It is a thrill to see a N/A stock block put a hurtin' on most all the S/C cars!
it's great to actually put a face to the screen names. just wish i could remember real names better.
whenever you are ready i can ship one or you can pick one up at Excessive Motorsports in manassas VA Torey and Chris usually keep a few in stock.
better acceleration and most of the time smoother gear changes in the manual cars with no clunking. there's always a chance of increasing NVH but thats usually not a problem. ford put that noodle shaft in there to absorb the vibrations and noise they couldn't get rid of and it does a really good job doing what its supposed to do. if there is any issues in the drivetrain they may not even be noticed since the stock shaft hides it very well. one of my customers installed the shaft and had some vibrations. he noticed his wheels were wobbling so he swapped his 20" wheels for the stock ones and the vibration went away. the stock driveshaft masked the poorly machined wheels so well he couldn't feel them wobbling. one piece driveshafts don't hide things.With the lighter driveshaft, whats the first thing you notice? any new noises vibrations?
Spydershaft looks like an awesome deal.
