Driveshaft Shop Carbon Fiber Driveshaft (MT)
2013+ FR-S / BRZ / 86
Details
The 1-piece carbon driveshaft for the Scion FR-S and Suabru BRZ is a complete 2.370" Carbon Fiber shaft that is approximately 1/2 the weight of the factory 2-piece driveshaft. The 1-piece carbon shaft features larger, replaceable u-joints. We had the tubing custom wound with a high modulus fiber to ensure the strength while making it small enough to clear everything under the car. All of the factory shields, plates and covers can be used without any alteration to the car at all. The ends are made from 6061-T6 aluminum. Not only will the car feel more responsive but it will also make a noticeable difference on the noise level in the car.
Driveshaft Shop carbon fiber driveshaft weight is 12.1lbs. Stock is 24.2lbs

Noticeable improvement
By Ken November 7, 2021After first install, drove my 2014 FRS up to 100+ mph and no vibration issues. Car felt noticeably lighter. Shift feel is lighter. You can feel more torque and the tachometer goes up quicker when full throttle accelerating. Kinda pricey at $1300 but I guess worth. Looking forward to next autocross session.

Great results.
By Mark December 3, 2020Overall I am very pleased with the ease of installation and performance R.O.I. Smooth and strong acceleration. Only one issue that you should be aware of during installation. They provide not hardware for the 4 bolt mounts. You will need at least 4 longer 35mm 10x1.25 bolts to ensure complete thread lock. The factory bolts will secure the shaft but are shy of a full thread lock by a few mm. I chose 4 matching 12.9 grade bolts and ensured they fit on the lathe for flange contact. Check them for weight as they are rotating mass.

Better feeling
By Daymond September 11, 2019Easy and straight forward to install. Feels less balanced than oem. Also transmission seems to have a slow leak after 30k miles on it installed.

Some Improvement
By Mike July 23, 2018Fairly expensive for the small gains received, but there are positive effects, nonetheless. Went with this over the aluminum because it is thinner to ensure clearance and has less noise. Car definitely feels a little bit more lighter when moving, can get up in speed at 3rd gear with very little throttle and stay pretty consistent in speeds regardless of slight hill areas without needing to downshift. Audible noises in lower RPMs when slow paced cruising around in 1st and 2nd. Install is super easy, but you will either need to drain the trans fluid or catch and recycle it back in once done installing. Still, fairly pricey for what you get, and unfortunately most of the cost is in the lovely material that anyone will rarely ever see.
