I mentioned it earlier in a reply to Vic, but in case you guys don't read my replies to other comments, I've ordered a replacement trailing arm crossmember. I justified the purchase because the factory crossmember cannot take much more than the 3" driveshaft I had in it before and I want to go with a 4" aluminum shaft. That, and the plasma cutouts for the exhaust pass through is ROUGH (read: UGLY). I ordered the crossmember from Performance Online. It's a lot like the ECE crossmember, but it has multiple positions for the trailing arm mounts.

Anybody happen to know if that style of crossmember will be able to accept a 4" driveshaft?
