i have a spare, but you're better off contacting Driftmotion to get the metal plate instead. I have it and the ride didn't change, i think it's 140 bucks.

read it and it says it cannot be used w/ the stock driveshaft, so that means i'll have to get a custom driveshaft from them..

some slits shouldn't be too bad... unless you are just beating it up all the time. I have one with some cracks too and a slit here and there. If you want it just pay shipping and it's yours.
