Yeah, they ship from England. I would imagine that would be one hell of a freight charge, not to mention the cost of the driveshaft itself

Good Luck

I've spoken with these guys over the phone and via email. Very helpful and knowledgeable (sp?) group.

Although as stated before... the price isn't friendly. But again, you get what you pay for.

You also might want to consider an aluminum driveshaft...they are just about the same weight & strength wise as carbon fiber, but a whole lot cheaper.
