Wiley, you are a lifesaver!!!!
LOL when I first loaded the page and saw the cherry picker I was
... Your clutch was definitely toast. I'm going to keep you on short call when I tackle mine!! Exedy just arrived today! Need to wrap up my alternator/radio repair and then this is next!
Of course... now that I see your new driveshaft, the wheels are turning... (pun intended!) Hmmmmm...

I'm pleased with the steeda mounts. I wish I didn't have to cover them with the ugly old mushroom covers from the OEM mounts though. It's a shame to cover up such a good looking product. I'm glad it came pregreased. I put antisieze on the hardware but that wasn't in the installation procedures. However I feared the possibility of snapping off one of the bolts should I ever want to Remove the engine. As far as performance, Unfortunately they did not mitigate the steering shaft clearance issue with the BBK shorties, however this is BBKs fault, not Steeda. There seems to be a very minute increase in NVH but the overall performance is dually noted. Great products. I'm interested to see how well they hold up past the break in period. Thanks!

FWIW, Ford Performance now offers a 10-14 1 pc aluminum drive shaft that is 100% bolt-in. Reasonably priced @ under $700
3-1/2" diameter, which is actually better for lowered cars.

I just had a one piece aluminum shaft from Driveshaft Shop installed. The Butt Dyno likes it, smoother, less clunky, and noticeably freer revving. It's good to get that stupid, heavy two piece monster outta there.

Anybody have any experience, good bad or indifferent, with carbon fiber driveshafts? I'm looking for ways to lighten my car, and that seems like a relatively easy, if expensive, way to knock a few pounds off.

Any other words of wisdom? Should I also get motor mounts? You have inspired me!
