gripster is an unknown quantity at this point
Sorry to bump up an old thread, but here's my scenario.

I've spoken to 2 guys who autox their ae86 corollas. They DO NOT drift. The subject of 1-piece driveshafts came up and they both said that the 1-piece is hard to balance. So they are sticking with the factory 2-piece setups. Keep in mind, they have live rear axles, so the driveshaft moves up/down with the axle.

Now, I autox my car -- I DO NOT drift. I need to get my trans rebuild, and would like to get a 1-piece DS as well. But I'm worried about vibrations. How many here have had to get their 1-piece DS rebalanced out of the box. I'm looking at the steel DriveShaft Shop 1 piece.

My car:

Stock sohc KA
5MT
J30 lsd

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
