Im going to bite the bullet and replace my axles before I have the misfortune of breaking one

anyone hear good things about enjo axles?

~200 WHP through an ACT HDSS clutch with an LSD

 

personally i think your money could be better spent elsewhere.... NA hondas can certainly break axles but they dont make the TQ of a turboed honda. the tq is whats gonna snap your axles. basically dont launch at 8k, especially with slicks, and dont launch with your wheels turned. maybe im wrong, maybe you will break axkes but unless your building a drag car and launching on them alot (drag radials/slicks) chances are your tires will give out first and youll be fine.

 

i have seen very many everyday cars break axles.
main cause, launching too hard on a car thats too low in the front , it causes too much stress on the axles.
if you got the moeny get aftermarket ones, if not get stock i know guys pushing 450 whp on 24.5 inch + slicks on Advanced Auto Axles. im still on my orig axles from day one now and trust me im not easy on them .

 

its low, really low... and only reason why im a little worried is cause a buddy of mine snapped the axles on his ITR with less power to the wheels than I will have, it just kinda worries me

 

then get some for some peace of mind... i just didnt think it was necissary

 

even aftermarket one swill break if they are stressed from being so low. change your susp man . or deal with breaking them .

 

yeah btw how low is it anyway.... you realize that once you go past a certain point you hurt performance and also put more strain on the axles...

heres how low my car is (im a pic *****)

 

damn

I really liked the look my JICs gave the car, it was really nice and low, looks great in my oppinion.. oh well, ill jack her up a bit when i have the motor out

 

awe man , that aint low . your fine .

 

if one breaks replace it otherwise leave it alone.

 

how low is yours compared to mine? i consider mine to be a tad on the high side but i cant go any lower because of where i live (scrape hazzard) ive already scraped my stock header, oem lip and z-10's at the height it is now

 

im lower thna that i can tell you that much , prob by at least an inch
plus my other teg, which was just like yours same color and all , reminsicing. . anywho , that was like 2 inches lower than that and no priobs. my friends wife civic though was stupid slammed and she would break axles and incognito here would break axles liek crazy with his R from being too low.

 

go buy jimfab's traction bar/radius arms and a nice set of adjustable dampening shocks or coilovers. wheel hop is what kills axles.
then you can just buy autozone axles (w/ warranty)

theres 270+ hp cars running on stock axles (and drag radials not slicks), you shouldnt have a problem with 200

 

I have maybe 1 finger gap or less up front, we did the real scientific way of setting the perch hight on the coilovers... that looks bout right to me, bolt the bastard on there lol

thats about how much gap my rears have, and i have a good solid front rake

 

i have a 1 finger gap too btw... just about 1 finger even..

 

I still want to know if enjo axles are worthy of supporting 200hp

Im going through hard times right now and I would rather waste 800 than have my fawking axles break when I rip on it, which I do ALL THE TIME

 

buy some cheap axels with lifetime warranty!

 

Um i this post startles me. I have beat my car like an idiot since the day i bought it. turbod it 2 yrs ago, entered and won burnout contests, USED to street race every fri and saturday night, have 68k on my car and still have the stock axles. I already bought another used pair "just in case" but have not had to use them. Hell i have been praising honda axles forever now. Just my .02

Yep wheel hop is the killer of axles and differentials. Invest in some motor mount inserts also to reduce wheel hop.
