Seriously, you guys need to read up on your Z... I shake my head at people "upgrading" OEM parts with cheaper made aftermarket parts like wheels and exhausts.

Stock for Z's, I dunno any company that mass produces carbon fibre/1 piece aluminum lighter driveshafts for the G, since the G's driveshaft is longer than the Z's.

Of course, custom work is possible, but requires taking out your oem driveshaft, sending/taking it someowhere for them to fab up a ligther c/f driveshaft.

I was considering this, as OCg35 pointing it out to me, but I didn't want to be a guinea pig.

U Z guys get the best parts!

edit: The z's driveshaft is still "2-piece" correct?, I know companies like driveshaft shop offer lighter weight "1 piece" driveshafts. Dunno if it would make much of a difference though.
