Has anyone come across a ready-to-order driveshaft? I can't suffer downtime for my G.

There's at least 3 companies stated within this thread that you can call.

Z1 said on their Facebook page that they do plan on getting another shipment of the aluminums in soon, just no exact date.

Stopped by the shop today to check out my aluminum driveshaft, wasn't installed yet so I was able to weigh it. Shaft is 4" in diameter and weighed in at 18.5lbs. Won't be able to do a before and after dyno though. Car will be on the road within 2 weeks so I'll be able to give a review shortly.

Carbon drive shaft

I'm having a carbon fibre Ds machined, hopefully sometime this month. They said it should weigh less than ten pounds. I think some lighter wheels and brake rotors would complement this mod nicely.
