I'm thinking about getting an aluminum driveshaft. I've been researching and I think this would be a good investment for now. Does anyone know of the quality of this driveshaft? I found it on 240sxmotoring.com....

Less weight and no clunking of the 2 piece, especially when the carrier barring goes bad.

On my wishlist for quite some time now. Just a note, any high-power car should consider a safety loop as well. :yesnod

Why exactly does it matter whether or not your model has abs or not when buying a driveshaft?

Cars with ABS have a sensor in the diff, which makes the diff longer.
Which requires the driveshaft to be shorter.
