Stock axles will hold up. All y ou have to do is launch correctly.

Is that true if your gonna use slicks too? I had a buddy break an axle in his stock d16 lol

Luserkid

I know people in the drag forum have gone 10s with stock axles. My stock replacements lasted longer then my motor doing 8k launches on 24.5 slicks. Its all in the way you launch.

oh ok thanx guys yeah wasn't sure but if not i'll just buy oem if i break them what kind of clutch should i use i have a stage 1 exedy in there right now but i doubt it will hol dup

Luserkid

I dont think youll make enough torque with a B16 @ 350hp to take out a stage 1 clutch, unless you pop the clutch every gear. Any 6puck clutch should be able to hold.

learn to preload and you wont break axles

just dont drive like an idiot banging gears everywhere you go.

Doesnt Hasport make decent aftermarket axles?

But for the price of most "performance" axles you're better off grabbing a few sets of OEM axles for that price...as long as you know to drive and preaload correctly you shouldnt have any problems with the stockies as they're more reliable than you may think.

Good luck! Let us know what you end up doing.

Yeah i'm going to stay with stock axles then and i'm getting an exedy stage 2 clutch in order to hold the power everything should be done by mid january and i'll show you guys the dyno charts when its all done thanx

I'm gonna tell you a trick.

Buy autozone, napa, etc axles with lifetime warranty. When or if you break, take them back and make up a story, voila, new axles.

Themouse

I don't even know why i didn't think of that my buddy did that and got new axles like 5 times thanx man

A little preload goes a long way

Domestic RWD cars use trans brakes. Think about that concept for 2-3 mins and you'll figure it out

i broke an axle with my d16. and replaced it with one from advanced auto parts. Life time warranty FTW
