Being rated to 2500bhp is overkill when BC shafts mostly hold out at 300bhp+ so these ones will do 99.9% of all RST owners without any probs!
Yeh thats what i thought! May have a little money maker there!

If he can kick them out for £200 to £250 a pair they will sell all day long!
MTX, FRS, ST170 6 Speed, etc.. plenty of box's that can go in needing custom shafts!

Defo be worth it! So many people put off by fitting Mtx boxes because of the price of the shafts!

Standard shafts are welded so it's not an issue. Prob with the mk5 setup is it's still an unequal setup so doesn't deal with torque steer as well as the 3 piece setup does.
