Thing to keep in mind, the rear end is also bushed and has some shock absorbtion, so its not completly solid on the driveline. Dont forget the motor and trans mounts, there is some shock absorbtion there too.

Both rear and pinion mounts are extremely flexible. With our high duro mounts and rear poly in plate mounts I don't feel much of any lag. Add the removal of all the parasitic rubber bushings and the car hooks up and gets into traction immediately.

near future for myself, I just need the rear mounting bushings figs! I got the giken lsd pulled from the spare housing off mikelucci and heading to lexus for ring bolts and seals then I'll have to pull my cars diff to swap it out. I'm really anxious to Drive this thing with a true lsd and carbon shaft.

So the test model carbon driveshaft is being removed and sent back to driveshaftshop next week and it will be available to anyone interested. I'm not posting it in the classifieds, dss is reselling to who ever is interested. I am just stating the testing is over for now due to weather and availability of track time. This was the first made, and tested on my car.
**You'll have to go through dss to get it**

Got about 3k miles on the driveshaft with zero issues, overall still just cannot be happier with dss's product and customer service. The test model is getting pulled and is available through dss.

They are. They will also reduce/eliminate wheel hop which the driveshaft cannot.

We are scheduled to get our first large order of face mounted bushings in mid Feb. For now we have been building offset spacers and including new hardware for the center plane mounted bushing which is actually my preference. The midplane mount will get its support from the center of the sheetmetal. The face mount bushings have been on our F for 6 months or so and working great. I should get to a video of them as well soon. Too much to do.

Glad to see this finally come to the ISF crowd! And Frank posting on the forum

Amazing products by DSS! The cf shaft we did for the is350 is still going strong many miles later.

I just swapped the final product from dss and I gotta say I'm very impressed with the performance of their products. The test model is in perfect condition, they had to make a change to the adapter flanges that replace the guibos due to shifter linkage issues. The test model is being returned and will be available for purchase through dss. Thanks for your help mike, frank and the rest of the dss crew.
