Message part has, but listed no connection between them that I can see in your post.

Let's not overthink this. Here's a few statements and tell me where you don't agree:

1) Subframe spacers derease the amount of slack, so to speak, and of course you'll feel more of everything. More vibration, more feeling through it. This is normal, logical and understood by all that buy them. Especially those with the full aluminum ones.

2) 1-Piece driveshafts, as you said, are not as good at softening the vibrations since they don't have the center support and such. The two pieces are a great design for stock and served a purpose for a stock, mass produced car. 1-piece shafts have an increased risk of more noise/vibration being transmitted.

Now...I said almost exactly what you just said. Here's the kicker...both of those statements are STILL true even if you don't have both items. We've seen a hundred times that if you have just spacers, you are STILL a possible victim to the side-effects. If you just have a 1-piece driveshaft and no spacers, it is STILL possible to have more vibrations. These two are not directly related as far as I can see and no one has shown otherwise just yet.

Unless you wanted to say they both suffer from a similar side-effect (greater transmission of noise/vibration) but one doesn't cause the other. Maybe you can clarify what you mean for me, because I sure don't see it.
