Post CF Driveshafts?

Anyone buy a Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft? How did it work? Easy to install? Modifications?

Anyone buy an Aluminum Drive Shaft? How did it work? Easy to install? Modifications?

Anything lighter in weight than the current?

personally i don't own either, but i can tell you that of course either is going to be much lighter then factory.

Thats the purpose of the after market drive shafts, to cut down of rotating weight. giving more direct power to the wheels with less resistance. also to be able to transfer greater amounts of power.

Depending on the drive shaft you purchase, instal may include some removing/reshaping certain areas along the floor for clearance issues. this is because these drive shafts are often times slightly larger.

hope that helps

That has the best information I've been able to find. This link is a better price for the CF though

ACPT CF Driveshaft is on my top 5 list of best mods done to my car, and it's high up on that list as well. Forget aluminum.
