I've heard several good reports off T5 owners about these shafts (driveshafts and stubshafts are one of the achiles heel of T5 owners).

 

Has anyone used them?

I bought one of these off of ebay as my CV boots had split. It was too cheap to not replace the lot so I thought why not?

I plan on sorting my original shaft with new CVs eventually, so did this in the short term. Only thing I'll say is that the shaft is slightly smaller in diameter, and its bare metal so quickly gets rusty, unless you have it powder coated obviously. Just looks ugly quickly, and eventually the rust will weaken it so its not a permanent solution imo.
