My friend is running stock axles and he said he's pushing out 400+ WHP and 250+ TQ.

stock until they break...unless you are doing anything crazy there really is no need to upgrade.

i have a lifetime warranty on my axles from advance auto parts

"i don't know what happened, i was just driving normal and well, it broke!"

Lots of high HP guy are still running stock axles. As long as you preload, stock axles can handle a lot.

An LSD does wonders in the long-run in terms of evenly putting the power to the wheels, cutting down the chances of breaking an axle. Also, places such as NAPA and Advanced Auto provide lifetime warrenties on their axle's

garbage warranty....35 dollar core charge and a hassle to get your new axles....

"why did they break sir!???.......it looks like theywhere not installed properly we dont cover that!!"

sorry i hate autozone, kragen, checkers, advance etc

i LIVE for napa...they deliver RIGHT to my stall and the dude that works there leaves it RIGHT next to the car i have in the bay IE i have 2 bays ....seriously NAPA = best service ever!

******* collect your 7-25 an hour and dont try to talk youself up to me becuase im wearing a dealership tech shirt.....those counter-mechanics couldnt stand a day in a REAL techs bay LOL


then the manager always asking about how i became a mechanic at such a young age.......................dude its called school maybe if you went to some type of school AFTER highschool youd be making more than a highschool sex crazed adolescent LOL

they have the brains to figure out that when i order a headlight bulb for a kia spectra they leave it NEXT to the KIA spectra!!!!! LOL

that is why the dealership has a running tab with napa
