Default performace cv axles

i was going to replace my axles. then i found out i got a choice to some performace ones. they said their axles support 200 hp+. does anyone has performace axles on their integra beside the oem one? are they worth it? you can check out their website, http://www.driveshaftshop.com/

Driveshaft shop axles are some of the best you can buy. If you don't have alot done to your car (built motor,turbo,ect.) they are not really worth buying IMO.

honda axles can support a good amount of power already. i believe 300hp is their limit.

i know several integra owners who are putting 250-280 down to the wheels and nothing happened yet (one integra was even boosted for 3 years now).

Default Axles

Give raxles.com a shot. They are rebuilt with new outboards i believe. I bought stock ones, but I think they have heavy duty ones also. Just call and ask. Ive had mine a while with no problems. Decent prices too. For stock setups, just dont let anyone buy the pos from NAPA. We put some in my gf car, and they took like 2500 miles to break in (yeah i know rebuilts and new dont need to be broken in). I later found out they are notorious for being POS peices

what characteristics do new axles have that show they need break-in?

I would take it easy on axles just long enough for you to be sure they're lubed and set and all that, but that's like... nothing.



Oh, and NAPA axles are lifetime warranty. And you know what that means. :naughty:

i'm wondering because i had new axles installed around thanksgiving and @ 55-61mph the front end will emit a vibration. Only started since I had these axles installed. But I when I was pulling the motor over xmas break, I saw that the right axle had a rubber balance on it - maybe its just off?
