Default Uprated driveshafts

can someone point me in the right direction for stronger driveshafts. 1997 wrx. Keep on shattering on launch and 1st to 2nd shift. ten or so in past year.

also since continually changing driveshafts I have had problems with the ABS not working. The ABS check light comes on 95% of the time and it does not work. Ocassionaly it does not switch on and when braking the pedal feels very soft and the ABS kicks in. May do this a few times and then the light clicks on.

Could this be due to wrong driveshafts? ammount of teeth? Subaru have checked and said sensors are all okay, but they do not give me an answer to my question.

I have the same problem except 8 shafts not ten
I had the same ABS problem but I solved it.
I finaly had a rear wheel bearing let go it would seem that at speed there was just enough play in the bearing for the ABS sensor to not register the pick up wheel and the light would come on. Since I have changed the bearing I have not had a problem

Another thing to check/fix. Oh the joy of modifying.
