Coast Driveline Aluminum Driveshafts - UPDATED

$589.99 SHIPPED TO THE DOOR!

UPDATE: Fitment issues are not a problem.

Lowered vehicles with just simple springs such as Eibach, Steeda, FRPP, etc will need to just verify pinion angle. For precautionary purposes, there is a bolt holding the emergency brake cable up towards the rear of the driveshaft tunnel. Simply unbolt it, and move the emergency brake away from the driveshaft 1.5". That's all!

For vehicles lowered more than your typical lowering springs 2"+, you will want to do the modification above PLUS there are two spots on the driveshaft tunnel that need massaging. In the middle of the floor tunnel, there is a stamping approximately 3/4" x 4" wide. Bump this down flat using a rubber mallot, or whatever you prefer. And one last spot...Back where that emergency cable bolt was you'll find a 2" by 3/8" wide lip. Bump that up flat and you're done! Make sure you check your pinion angle too. You may need adjustable control arms. That is all! Nothing else to it!

Will not fit Saleen Short Shifter Adaptors!

These are balanced to within 1/8 of a gram, and WILL NOT VIBRATE as long as your pinion angles are correct.

The price is $589.99 shipped.

Make sure you also inquire about driveshaft safety loops, we have universal ones for $32.99 with your purchase of the aluminum driveshaft. If you want something vehicle specific, we carry CHE as well!!!

Just another FYI, for potential customers...

If you have installed a set of Aftermarket motor mounts, this may cause a change in the pinion angle as well.

It looks like this will turn out to be a hassle free install for most, with no changes needed to the pinion angle. However, I would recommend that everyone check the pinion angle after installing the drive shaft to insure that the tunnel is free and clear of any contact with with drive shaft.

Again, good luck on the sale Tillman. I know this will be a hot item for you guys!

IF anyone has contact with the driveshaft, they won't need to check the pinion angle to find out. Launch at 2800 with the stock tires and you'll know if it bangs or not

All orders have shipped, I will try and send out tracking numbers in a few! THANKS!

Anyone else who is still interested, they are still $589.99 for a limited time before they go back up to $579.99 plus shipping. That could be as much as $629 shipped!

My understanding is that on lowered cars the 4" Shaft has clearance issues. How has this been resolved with this shaft? I am asking because my car is lowered.

jsut a note, im only lowered 1.5" and i had clearance issues wit ha 4" shaft. others might too. rememebr the way the car is setup from the factory isnt the same on every car. with only a 1.5" drop, i had to adjsut the pinion angle and i didnt have motor mounts or any other mods that would affect pinion angle at the time.
