OVERVIEW
The rear axle bar and inner CV upgrade for the E90/E92/E93 M3. The Driveshaft Shop developed a set of axle bars, inner CV and outer CV internal upgrades using proprietary 1.25″ diameter high-grade 300M bars (stock axle bars are 28 spline), a custom chromoly CV cage and race set, which makes these axles practically indestructible. The chromoly 108mm inner CV is a direct replacement for the stock unit and features full aerospace-grade internals. The factory M3 outer CV housing is made from a very strong material, so DSS retains it and upgrades the internals to an aerospace-grade set as well.
This is a send-in service on your own factory axles. DSS tempers and shot-peens the OEM outer and inner housings, installs factory-style metal boot covers on the outer CV (double o-ring sealed), and installs the new chromoly cage/race internals along with 30-spline bars.
