Why? I have not heard bad things about the later 1/2 shafts. I am running 735hp and have had no issue with my stock 1/2 shafts in my 06 coupe, and I now have 3600 miles on them.

If you do a search for our friend and fellow VCA member "Yelloh" he has a set that he has not put on so far and he can tell you where he got them and if he wants to sell them.

Yelloh also had told me that quite a few people had broken CV joints nat Pocono at the last viper meet. I was not there. Contact him about it.

I was at that event and didn't see anyone break CV joints. Who had that problem?

You will have to ask Rick, Yelloh. I was not there. He told me when he was at my shop. Send him a email if you wish at [email protected]

Are the Gen 3 half shafts the same dimensions (length, CV joint, etc.) as the Gen 2? If so, will they work with a Gen 2? I figure if they fit and are so much better, then why not buy a used set instead of paying $800+ for Unitrax? Just a thought.......feel free to flame away!
I don't think that is a good idea to be installing CV half shafts on a GEN 2.
Mainly I believe they are not the same length plus if your car has ABS they
will definitely not work from my own personal experince. Due to the CV has a larger diameter at the outside end than on the UJ shaft.
Thus your ABS speed sensor & ring will not match properly and you will get an ABS light malfunction.
If you think about it UJ half shafts are proven to be better. First they don't
have dust boots the could crack or rot over time. Second they are simpler to repair and third they are inexpensive to replace in comparison to the CV shafts. IMO
