Title: 100mm CV joints - which are best
Post by: RUSS74GHIA on March 19, 2018, 09:20:36 am
I’m currently running a bus box with 944turbo shafts & CVs.
I’m using Lobro CVs : C153 12 01 98 027. Should I be using anything else?

Russ, there is a lighter, stronger one. GKN motorsport MS3K031
It's honed, undersized balls and a lot of metal machined off the outside. search for the part number in this catalogue.

there are stronger ones again but they use a different spline count or bigger bolts eg MS3K038 or MS3K037
when I bought mine they were 110GBP each

how much stronger they are, I can't answer but they were very  good people to deal with.
