The Driveshaft Shop Driveshafts and Axles


Getting that power to your wheels will not happen if you do not have the proper driveshaft and axles to handle it. A factory driveshaft can only handle the power that the engine has from the factory and adding performance parts will put some additional stress on the shaft. The same goes for your stock axles as they can only handle the power they are rated for and not meant for high performance applications like drag racing or street racing. The Driveshaft Shop produces both their driveshafts and axles for specific vehicles, like imports and domestics, and can also make you a custom setup for your application. 


The Driveshaft Shop driveshafts are available in chromoly, carbon fiber, steel and aluminum to fit any application you need it for. For a lightweight driveshaft, aluminum or carbon fiber would be the way to go and is perfect for lighter vehicles. Heavier vehicles with extreme horsepower should look towards a steel driveshaft or chromoly driveshaft because they can handle the stress much better and transfer the torque more efficiently. The Driveshaft Shop balances all of their performance driveshafts before they send them out so you will experience no vibrations and can benefit from its performance immediately. Ultrarev has all your Driveshaft Shop needs at some of the best prices on the web.

With so many different axles to choose from, you are bound to find what you need. The Driveshaft Shop axles range from stock replacement all the way up to extreme horsepower applications in which they can handle upwards of 1000HP. Ultrarev carries level 0 through level 5.9 axles so upgrading your current ones is right at your fingertips. Whether you have a small Honda hatch or a heavy Dodge Charger, The Driveshaft Shop axles will benefit both applications. They can even shave off some of your quarter mile time, especially in the first 60 feet where time is crucial.

Performance Clutches and Flywheels From Spec!



Whether you are looking for a replacement clutch for your worn-out factory one, or you need a high performance clutch to go along with your performance enhancements, Spec clutch has what you need. They product their performance clutches in more than 5 different types to accommodate vehicles with mild performance enhancements all the way up to extreme high performance vehicles with superchargers and turbo chargers. The factory clutch is not designed to handle any additional power other than what the engine has from the factory. Spec clutches and flywheels are much stronger than any OEM products while being a perfect fit for your specific vehicle and torque specifications.

The Spec stage 1 clutch is the beginning of the line and is perfect for anyone looking for a strong performance clutch to use on a vehicle that is near stock. It combines everything that an OEM clutch offers but with better power handling capabilities. As the stages get higher, so do the torque ratings. The higher you go, like Spec stage 4 clutch and Spec stage 5 clutch, the rougher the clutch engagement is and these clutches are not really meant for daily driving. They will wear out your leg extremely quick and should only be used on the race track or drag strip. Ultrarev has all your Spec clutch needs along with the most affordable prices found on the web.

Along with the Spec clutch kit, they also offer performance flywheels that are designed in both steel and aluminum. The Spec aluminum flywheel provides both strength and less weight than your original flywheel. It will free up some power so it can be used elsewhere. The Spec steel flywheel is strong for high performance vehicles that need a durable flywheel to transfer the high amounts of torque.

It is also recommended to use the Spec clutch along with the Spec flywheel to give your vehicle maximum performance and the most perfect fit. Their clutch kits match perfect with either flywheel and the clutch disc will sit nice and tight. Mating clutch and driveline parts from different companies could cause some problems.
Spec tests each clutch with their specific flywheels for the best compatibility and performance. 

Spec clutches and flywheels are superior to other clutch and driveline components because of the great warranty that is backed. If their clutches or flywheels break for any reason, they will replace it. However, the Spec clutch kit must be broken in properly and installed on a vehicle that the specified torque rating. Any Spec clutch that is not broken in or use on a vehicle in which the torque is much higher than what it is rated for, they will not cover it.

Replace Your Worn-Out Suspension Bushings With Polyurethane Bushings From Energy Suspension


Automotive suspension bushings act just the same for your vehicle as cartilage does in the human body. Suspension bushings are located throughout the vehicle and allow components to pivot. If bushings were not used, the ride would be very harsh and noisy. Rubber bushings are equipped on nearly every vehicle that comes from the factory, yet they can wear out very quick. Rubber is affected by outside conditions like snow and salt, and is also affected by the ozone which breaks the rubber down. Once your factory bushings are worn down, the vehicle will handle sloppy and the ride will be rough.

Energy Suspension bushings are polyurethane bushings that are superior to rubber. Not only will they last longer, but they can handle both high performance vehicles and daily drivers. They are available in different durometers from firm to stiff that allows you to choose the stiffness of your ride. The stiffer bushings are perfect for vehicles that operate at high speeds on the race track, while the softer ones will tighten up the suspension without being too firm.

Once your factory bushings have worn out, they also cause the vehicle to fall out of alignment. This is bad for your tires as well as your various suspension components. Your tires will wear unevenly and also wear out prematurely. Each and every suspension component is linked together with a bushing. Replacing them with Energy Suspension bushings will ensure longer life and better ride quality for now and the future. Ultrarev has all your performance bushing needs including Energy Suspension control arm bushings, Energy Suspension motor mounts, Energy Suspension transmission mounts, Energy Suspension end link bushings and Energy Suspension sway bar bushings.

Energy Suspension bushings do not succumb to the same elements that rubber ones do. They resist against all heat ranges, snow, salt, water, oil, and other harmful chemicals. Their hyper-flex technology allows for this while still giving the vehicle ride comfort, quality and durability. Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings typically last 5 to 10 times longer than rubber ones do and are much more affordable. Ultrarev has the best prices for all of your performance auto parts needs.

Polyurethane bushings from Energy Suspension also come in different colors that will allow your vehicle to stand out. They are perfect for show vehicle since they are available in both red and black. Rubber bushings do not look nearly as pleasing as polyurethane bushings do since rubber fades so easy.

Every vehicle can benefit from Energy Suspension bushings as they are made for nearly every car, truck or SUV on the road. Either vehicle specific, or custom applications, their bushings will bring your vehicle back to the way it was when you first took it for a drive. Performance auto parts have never been so affordable here at Ultrarev!

Keep Your Engine Cool With SPAL Cooling Fans!


SPAL Automotive is the number one supplier of engine cooling fans for your car, truck or SUV. SPAL USA has been perfecting their electric cooling fans for many years and offer them for aftermarket purposes as well as OEM replacement cooling fans. They are also a Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier for automobile companies. When you buy a new vehicle, it may be equipped with a SPAL cooling fan!

Have you ever wondered why your engine needs a cooling fan? Well for one, when you are at idle, there is very little air that is entering your engine bay. There may be even zero air if the weather outside has no breeze. SPAL cooling fans are needed to keep your heat exchangers and engine from overheating. They keep your radiator, AC condenser, intercooler, oil cooler and engine temperature regulated so the vehicle can perform at its best. Ultrarev.net has SPAL fans that range from a few inches in diameter all the way up to 16 inches for large applications.

Hot summer days also heat up the area inside your engine bay. With all of the moving engine parts, temperatures reach well over 180 degrees and need to be regulated. Their electric fans will provide more air to your application and last longer than any other cooling fan. They can be wired into your existing OEM harness by using the SPAL wiring harness for quick installation. The electric fans can be used to work with your existing thermostat as well. Users will not have to worry about this if they are using the fans as OEM replacement.

Your high performance vehicle would also benefit from a SPAL cooling fan. Vehicles that operate at high speeds need faster cooling to keep the performance level up. SPAL high performance fans do not have a motor that is sealed, so driving on the street is not recommended. However, all other fans designed for OEM replacement or everyday driving have a motor that is sealed to prevent against water and dirt.

Ultrarev has everything you need to install your SPAL cooling fans as well. You can choose from mounting feet, gaskets and wiring harnesses that will make installation a breeze. You do not want to be caught rigging up your own brackets and then have them fail on you! Do it right the first time and outfit your vehicle with SPAL cooling fans and SPAL accessories.
