I have heard guys running aluminum and carbon fiber ones. Are you looking for one of thsoe materials, or steel? Inland Empire is supposed to be good:

I ordered my driveshaft first thing in the morning and it shipped same day I had it the next day (we are both in florida). It was built for me to my specs it was not something they have on the shelf. They also sold me the 1350 pinion flange for my rear end. Excellent attitude on the phone and very easy to order.

Which did you choose? I looked at the street/strip alum. How much was yours?

I gave the guy taking the order all of my info ie. car weight, maximum rpm, estimated h.p., measurement from seal to seal, yada yada and he recomended 3.5 dom steel with 1350 rear pinion flange. Shaft was about 325.00 with a th400 yoke plus shipping give or take plus the flange . My info to him put me between the 3" and the 3.5" so he suggested the 3.5" also he warned me against a conversion u-joint on the rear because they are not as strong and do not offer a solid u-joint design for the conversion as the do make a 1350 solid joint.

I requested a quote from Precision, but was looking at Summit and found this. What do you think?

I just realized that the yokes do not come with them, the description sounds like they may...

Thanks,

That must be a typo. If they are assembled, they must have everything. Might have to give them a call later and check. Not like I don't have their number memorized...

Maybe they are considering assembled because they come with the Ujoints?
