Im doing an engine conversion, and as part of the conversion i am wanting to change the rear drive shafts for peace of mind.

i read in the x works m3 build the the GKN Lobro shafts are the ones to go for but i seem to be able to find where to buy them from?

Anybody got any ideas?

Confused - do you need a propshaft or two driveshafts?

A decent engineering shop should be able to knock up a propshaft, but driveshafts are a different kettle of fish. Might be worth looking around the Turbo forums to see what those guys have used.
