I have a 1988 Mustang GT. I did a complete SN95 4 wheel disc brake swap and put on 17x8 Buillitts. While doing this I also put in a set of Sportline springs (red) which lower the car 1.7" front and 1.5" rear. I also installed a set of aftermarket (non-adjustable) upper and lower control arms. I also installed the Eibach sway bar kit (front and rear).

Here's my question - I noticed that the driveshaft sits closer, very close, to the back of the T5 transmission. There's almost no gap. I can get a pic to show but before (stock) there seemed to be a little more "play". I'm worried that the driveshaft being up close tight to the back of the tailshaft of the T5 is going to put additional wear and tear on the tranny without sufficient slack?
Anybody have this issue? Is it an issue? Don't know if the pinion angle changed and is what is pushing the driveshaft up very close to the trans?



Thanks for any input,
John
