Differential flanges for new driveshaft
I am going to be getting a custom driveshaft made for my car and I was going to be needing a flange for my car. I have 96 sc300 and it has the rubber boot with the Y (3 spoke) flange. What other flange will bolt up to my current differential without much modification? Thank you.
I was told by the local shop to get rid of the rubber adapter because it will wear out much faster then another type of flange.

the rubber thing is called a guibo. BMW uses them in all their modern cars, it eats some of the driveline shock from hard shifts in a FR car, its not a bad thing.
keeping the guibo is in the best interest of 95% of the people out there

First of all, go and take a look at the one you have. Personally, when i took mine out, it was all cracked and dry, it looked like it was about to go. My car has only 90,000 miles. Second of all, none of the moderate powered supra run them, why? because they granulate them after few launches. Last but not least, i have the alloy adapter and my ride is as smooth as ever!

I went through three of them before finally going with a custom driveshaft. There will be some vibration around 60 mph without them but if you're making some good power you will need one.
