We continue to be the best by using the highest quality carbon fiber, aluminum, and steel materials as well as the strongest yokes, joints, and slips. Our carbon fiber (and in some cases chromoly) shafts are also available for SFI certification.

Whether you’re a first time customer, or you’ve been buying with us for 15 years, we will make sure that you get the best shaft at the best price for your application.
When you’re looking to buy a driveshaft, you have three choices: steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber. In increasing order of strength, you have steel, then aluminum, then carbon fiber.
Steel is the least expensive option. However, steel prices have been rising in commodity markets lately (commodity steel prices have tripled since 2020) so there’s less cost advantage to using steel today than there used to be. Steel is going to be the heaviest and least strong option for your driveshaft.
Aluminum brings a significant weight reduction, and a significant increase in strength. Aluminum also will not rust, so if you live in a rainy or snowy area, that’s a huge bonus. However, aluminum can be dangerous. If an aluminum driveshaft breaks, the jagged aluminum edges can rip right through the bottom of your car, risking the safety and life of the driver.
Carbon fiber is the king of driveshafts. Carbon fiber is the lightest and strongest option. It will not rust, and the torsional strength is incredible. It is also the safest for the driver. If a carbon fiber driveshaft were to break, rather than producing jagged edges like aluminum or steel, the carbon fiber shaft will just result in loose fiber strands along the break (kind of like the end of a broom).
One major consideration for carbon fiber shafts is that they are not recommended for street usage (aka, cruising). The heat produced by prolonged street usage can break down the bonds in the carbon fiber shaft. We only recommend carbon fiber shafts for racing applications, not for your daily driver. For a daily driver, we recommend steel or aluminum.
If you have swapped your engine or your transmission, then it’s definitely advised to upgrade your driveshaft. Any circumstance when you are upgrading your horsepower over the stock horsepower, you should get a new driveshaft.
