if there is they'll cost more than your car's worth

probably cheaper to just replace if and when they give in,paint a straight white line down each shaft so you can keep track on how much its twisting,seen them twist 180degrees end to end with big torque

Plenty of places do competition driveshafts. eg www.cvjoints.co.uk
I still use standard ones and have only had one snap on me.

You use flex-steel. I can source these babies for you but the're not cheap. Best thing is to fresh up your bushes, and tighten the driveline HARD before taking off with a 6000rpm start , My Avant broke 2 rear diffs, no drive shafts. They're sturdier on the Avant.

A good trick is to paint the drive shafts with a white line running along the shaft, when the ds twists, the line will twist too, and when it starts looking like a lollypop, then you know when it's time to change the ds
