Nice find. Pair this with the 4.083 gears and it'll be a blast to drive.

If you have to pay someone to install this you have no business modding your car. It requires no skill or special tools and takes less than 30 minutes start to finish. I have the Z1 aluminum drive shaft, I can't see how this is any different. It's an aluminum tube with a U joint on the end.

That said, if you get charged more than 1 hour of labor you are getting robbed.

Wonder how much of a difference you can feel? That's a pretty major weight drop, but wonder how much of it is rotational weight versus middle bearing weight.
