Why do you need them? The only worth while app is high hp drag racing.

I reseached them a while ago and the general thought is they are not worth the money. You do not get enough gain out of them for auto-x or road racing.

Here is some links for you:

Hope the above helps.

I've never heard of a street based car snapping a half shaft on a road course.

Road racing isn't nearly as hard on a driveline as drag racing, where you 'shock' the driveline when launching.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the M Coupe/Roadster rear suspension is a little beefier than the regular E30 suspension.
