Default U-joints
This is one of those things I really never gave much thought to until now when I need to have my driveline shortened.
After looking online for u-joints, I realize now there are tons of choices at all the parts stores- from $8.99 "performance" joints to the $59 Lakewood units.

Assuming this was your car- 393 stroker, 500+ FWHP, IRS rear, T5, mostly street driven with an occasional track day thrown in. No serious racing. Which U-joints would you pick? Cheapest, middle of the road, etc......

I'm leaning toward the NAPA units that are greasable and labeled "performance" at around $24.99 each, but I have no clue if they are any better/worse than any of the $11.99 units or $50 units?
What's your 2 cent's worth?

Thanks,
Bob
