Has anyone installed a coast performance 1piece aluminum driveshaft. I'm gonna install mine tomorrow and it didn't come with instructions so I don't know what the torque for the driveshaft bolts are. German torque it? Insert German accent here Goed n tite! I also read that the E brake bracket needs to be relocated for lowered cars? Any help would be appreciated.

Yes just tighten them up. My brake bracket wasn't near it and I'm lowered 1.5in rear and 1in front

Run a tap through to clean the rear threads up while it's apart. Lots of factory locktite there.. Obviously re lock tite it

I think they were like 89ftlb.

I was able to get a torque wrench in there. Pain in the dick, just have someone sit in the car so when you go to torque them you can have them push in the brake. And can rotate it by hand.

If not, just use some loctite and hand tighten them. They'll be okay

Thanks guys! Good call on the tap and loctite. I'll get a tap set tomorrow. Just want all my ducks in a row before I do this. Hopefully I won't have any clearance issues with the E brake bracket.
