Default Need a new driveshaft

Hi guys need a new front driveshaft for my 4x4 cossie. Do I go for a standard pattern one for about £90 or get a so called uprated one (10mm longer) for about £160?

Cheers Jason

The uprated one i think your on about is the xr4x4 one which is lightly longer than the saph cossie one. It will stop it poping out more thatn the standard one. Whats the state of your engine mounts? ie standard or uprated?

Personally I'd rather fit cossie shafts to my car,
