   Right i might be buying a vts box for my westcoast, the 2 driveshafts i got are the type that go straight into the gearbox with NO bolt on bracket to the back of the engine... i heard that to run the vts/r box's you need slightly longer driveshafts... is this the type of driveshaft that i need to get? (longest 1 in pic) and do the vtr/s shafts have the same splines? anyhelp would be appreciated Thanks Lee

   The splined bits on VT ones are slightly longer.
   
   All driveshafts are the same length if they wasnt then they wouldnt even reach the hub lol
   
   VT ones have that bearing carrier on. For a VT gearbox get VT driveshafts.
   
   All the splines are the same for all models, only difference is tapered and non tapered which is effected by the year of the car, not what model it is.

   ive just fitted a furio box today into my vts and the driveshafts fit as normal so putting a vts into a furio should fit the same aswell.
