Spoon Driveshafts...
I saw these on Bulletproof's website and I was wondering what the advantage of these are. Can they handle more power than stock? Are they lighter? Anyone know anything about these? Thanks in advance.

I have heard of people breaking the driver side first.
I have had mine on order for more than a month now.
They are suppose to be polished and assembled with higher strength components, but remain dimensionally the same size as stock.
I also went with the spacers to correct the angle for lowered vehicles.
Then ordered the better balanced propeller shaft so high speeds will have less vibration.
Don't forget the stiffer differential mounts to keep the diff inline under higher loads. They are not cheep.
Basically I am trying to keep everything aligned under higher loads so the ring and pinion don't break as easily.
I have a theory that maybe the pinions break because of deflection and increased stress due to improper alignment.

Hows your car coming along?
