Default Axle diffrences RS vs Type R

Are all the integra axles the same for the DC2 strength wise? I am currently parting out a GSR and taking the swap for my self. One axle is seized in the hub, and the CV boot is a little bit torn up. So I am going to buy some new axles.

What I want to know, are the RS axles weaker then the type R's or are they the same minus the ABS sensor wheel?

Reason why I am looking at the RS axles is that they are cheaper because they do not have ABS.

same thing as far as strenght, I wouldn't worry about it. go with the RS, unless of course, you have ABS on your car.

I do not have ABS (del Sol SI). Reason why I am wondering, I do alot of autocrossing and will be doing alot of road racing next season and I dont want to be 100 miles from my house at an autocross and have an axle brake. Would not be fun.

man you have to slow down your typing lol

Don't think that I will have to worry about 8k drops, my tires already spin too much with my 3k drops on my "beefy (more like tofu)" d16z6.
