yeh mate reckon most people put xr 4x4 shafts in the front on lowered suspension , we put them in Bigad4x4's they definately do the trick mate they're an inch longer, and as they say am inch makes all the difference!!

i wouldnt say the xr shafts are to long
they dont need a circlip to hold them in place either which is better as its quicker and easier to change
loads of people run them with out failures
and is a cheap mod thats well worth doing once engine mounts are sorted
especially if your car is low

Get the engine mounts sorted thats the key....
I used vibra technic and never had any problems even with hard launches.
Unfortunately, these mounts make the car shake at idle.
