    thanks a lot for the input and especially for the ultimate suspension recommendation this guys are great. they took over 1h to examine, measure, weight and test drive the car. quite a few things wrong with current setup so out goes the TF crap and US springs and shocks in + heavy duty custom sway bars and Bailey Morris extrem double cardan prop shaft and then they will also engineer the lot

    Carefull with the Bailey Morris extreme DC propshaft, I could well be wrong, but I believe this the unit that some have had issues with and they (Bailey Morris) will not cover it or back up problems. I even think it is NOT for road use??

    Tom Woods is the go. Best value for money DC propshaft and totally rebuildable.

    I have seen others that require adapter flange added and cost more but dont seem as good. Have to wonder why?

    hm a quick google search did not reveal any issues and as I would buy trough Ultimate Suspension they would be responsible for the warranty.

    Both Chook73 and I both had Bailey Morris Extreme DC shafts, Chooks fell apart after about 10,000k's mine after 7,000k's. Luckily the vibrations alerted us to the distruction of the DC joint before a catastrophic failure.

    Mine was a Cohen, Cape York. Very inconvienant.

    We were lucky and got a refund, but BM stated that they were never intended for high speed use.

    Seriously go for a custom made shaft or a a Tom Woods.

    I can vouch for Tom Wood, he is fantastic to deal with, can't say enough about his service, he goes above and beyond and his shafts are fully serviceable.

    Yep steer clear of the Bailey Morris shafts, even worse was the gibson shaft.

    What I have been able to ascertain is that everyone running castor corrected arms seems to have DC shafts fail. I am not sure if there is anyone running the Tom Woods shaft who has castor corrected arms?

    I am going to back to the standard shaft with wider uni joints and slotted swivel balls, hopefully that will be the solution......
