coast is around $700. and looks the same as the others.

shaftmaster says are rated at 9866 rpms. rone of the others say anything
I dont see why they need to rate a driveshaft for a certain rpm . Speed or hp maybe but not rpm. And wow those Coast ds sure have gone up . I thought I paid like 500 of 550 for mone from Jegs . It was ordered as a Lakewwod ds and they sent me a Driveshaft Shop unit and not knowing them at the time I sent it back to jegs and they sent me another Lakewood ds that said Coast ds on it so I kept it . Lakewood told me that they do not build their own but the use other suppliers that build to there spec. LOL! So I kept the coast unit.

Give shaftmasters a call. They are very nice and will answer all your questions. After talking to them I ordered my driveshaft and it was machined, shipped, and arrived in less than a week. I highly recommend them. A+++

thats my point, some stores offer different shafts but are the same. but prices are killer lol. i was talking to the guy at the shop and said he would make me one just like the spydershaft for around 300 and to give him a call on january 5, he said he could get someone to do a bad ass one for like 600. i think shaftmaster would do the trick for me.

the lakewood from jegs is $646

im concern about this because. with higher gears, the car would be at higher rpms when crusing. and if there is a vibrations this would be a pita
