Nope i just run them. They feel a bit heavy until the seal is broken in

If so, what driveshaft upgrades are required/desirable, I remember my last trf came with Ali front driveshafts that needed swapping to (longer?) steel ones, are the double joint cardan ones now the "top spec" option? Theta r snot standard are they? What length front and rear are required?
The new car comes with 44mm DCJs front and 44mm alu unis rear, so no need to change anything
