Default Upgrading axles

I'm putting down about 260whp 220wtq rounded

I snapped half shaft axle lucky I have spare parts for my integra laying around, I might have to replace my tranny looks like it might have also crack the casing of the tranny a little.

Can you get upgraded axles for the b18? and if you can where can i order them and what are good brands since i'm going replacing them why not do it all, also

Has anyone else ran into this problem with there boosted b18?

You broke stock axles at 260whp?? wow. Maybe a driver mod is in order? is your car retarded low? do you let it wheel hop excessively?

I got sportline lowering springs so no not retarded lower, I haven't launched the car becus it has a stock clutch. but i've heard poping noises from the axles or something if i move very slowly like every 4th or 5th tire rotation

Sounds more like the CV joint broke as opposed to actually snapping the axle.

You're best bet is to replace both axels with Autozone lifetime replacement axles and keep the recpt.
