I tried that theory on some i had, (not insane but aftermarket) and the diameter of the shaft and splines was different.2ndy said:
Blueprint ep3 ends fit,
standard ep3 ends fit,
buying an aftermarket ep3 shaft and swapping both ends does not fit.

Jimmer, didn't you mention you had got some uprated shaft with a larger diameter or something along those lines so the inner joint didn't fit your dc5 shaft? Or was it all standard?
I'd have thought it is just the shaft length that differs.

surely thats not right, if they have supplied something that doesnt fit , why is it your problem ? , IMO they should arrange to have them collected and pay for the removal job to be done,JDMFresh said:
when you bought them you bought "DC5 R driveshafts" so you fitted them theres no reason to suspect anything would be wrong, its not like you bought universal fit shafts and are now complaining they dont fit,

How would it be clear? I know when I got them I had no idea by just looking at them in my hand. Only when I had my old ones removed did I notice it, unless you had previously measured them I don't think it's clear until you compare them
At that stage it's too late. At that stage you have removed your drive shafts and fitted your old ones back in. That is once in and out. And when you get the right set that is a second time.
Plus I think they should have sent you the correct ones before you removed theirs.
Now you have to put the driveshafts in and out 3 times.

The pictures posted are pretty clear that they are shorter..
They definitely owe him something but if I had taken a shaft out and seen the new one was as short as shown in the picture I wouldn't have fitted it, could cause more damage having them fitted and driving it
