   Ah ok I wasn't 100% if they would be any good as they are on ebay and are not really any more money then the standard ones
   
   
   Know of anyone that has actually used them?
   
   Cheers for the input so far

   I had a chat with Chris about these and will be buying for when my box goes in. He also sells a f1 grade shaft with a lifetime guarantee if you snap the shaft just not on the cv joint part, although these are much more pricey!

   Might go for a set then. I dont snap shaft of anything as im not running silly power.
   
   Just seem to knacker CV's and have clonking shafts after only a few months
   
   Track sessions and ATB probably dont help

    steviee90 used to have this prob ... it did this because it was a Cat C ... get to the bottom of the prob first i'd say
    
    If yours is the same, i'd advise get it sorted and punt it. Keep the problem to yourself then either buy another Saxo or move on
