Which would go first on a 95? I would guess the rear, cause stock DS is steel correct?

get the rear first. big things are the hardest to get. driveshafts arent too expensive. rear comes first.

yeah its steel. its probably 6 one way 1/2 dozen the other. too many factors but money in the bank is always a good thing :D

Well ok, how about an LS1 DS vs. 10 bolt?

The DS seem to be breaking more often than 10bolts.

cbrrmike has a 12 bolt and nastyls1 has a 9"....can't think of anyone else who has broken a driveshaft recently.

Strange makes a nice 12-bolt piece for the street for about $2000. Expensive but worth it. Better to deal directly with strange.

Flip a coin... Heads the shaft tails the rear. Or better yet, the rear locks up and snaps the drive shaft at the same time!

Look for a Strange 12bolt/driveshaft package deal coming from JS Performance this summer...

i was launching at 6k rpm on slicks last year on the 10bolt and stock aluminum DS, it was fine

also, i heard the stock aluminum LS1 ds is stronger than the stock steel ds
