New Coast Driveshaft Adaptors
Has anyone had any experience with the new Coast driveshaft mounting hardware adaptors? They look like they make it way easier to install but I was curious how they compared to replacing the flange when it came to toughness. It also seems like it would make the driveshaft shorter since the adaptors get bolted to the flanges? Any thoughts?

if we're talking about the same thing, the aluminum spacers that attach to the factory flanges and then the shafts to it, i've run them before and WOULD NOT recommend them. yes, they make installation easier and i have no doubt they're strong but, they effectively reduce the length of your shafts, increase the angle that your front shaft will sit in and make balancing harder. replacement yokes are what i would recommend you go with as they will help to mitigate all those problems.
