Lightweight Driveshaft ??
Maybe I missed it but cant seem to find any info. if an aftermarket driveshaft exists for the AA80e and IS-F. Anyone know if theres an aluminum DS being made as a direct replacement??
I've used the driveshaftshop for past projects but looks like they offer nothing for the ISF.
Just curious if anyone has explored a lighter DS for their car..

Haven't heard anything in regards to the is-f but I had the driveshaft shop make a carbon fiber ds for my 06 sti build. would never do carbon fiber again because of vibration at high speeds but if a lightweight ds was available the the is-f it would be an awesome improvement! the acceleration/throttle response improvement was amazing

Anyone know the weight of the ISF DS? I'm not worried about vibration as the dss will balance it to 9000rpm which is about 2 times what most shops are capable of doing.
Nonetheless, some people experience vibrations and that would be a deal breaker for me

Spoke with DSS a few minutes ago and they can and will make whatever you desire for the F. They simply need a stock driveshaft to R&D and about 6weeks.
I'm strongly considering a CF DS as it will be less diameter as well.

Yeah.... Obviously no one has yet to do this with the IS-F is what I'm gathering...

this would be huge if you get it done. I would be next in line to purchase if the performance is there with reliability. good luck and hope this works out.
