OK, who has used aftermarket axles in their swap???
I was looking into RAxles, but someone said he broke one with only minor mods on an Si ....... so I looked at driveshaftshop.com, but someone else said they broke them .......
I do not want some remanufactured '90-'93 Teg axles, I am getting aftermarket ones, so I need help from those guys that have them to respond.
This will be going into a '90 hatch getting a B16A swap, and I am going to get a '94+ GS-R intermediate shaft so I can run the newer gen. axles on it.
Any help is appreciated!

I had to run a NEW Integra Axle for my swap on a 5th Gen Civic. It is way better than the stock axles, so I bought another new one for the other side to match both axles. Spent about $140.00 for both.
(Stock axles use a balancing rubber piece on them vs the NEW axles they are Pre-balanced)
I'm happy.

I have used Raxles a lot and have never had any problems with them. I don't drag race though.

Yeah, if you consider $700 cheaper .......
The RAxles and the Driveshaftshop axles are $300-$320.

just use stock axles...I used to do mad launches on 22" slicks with 12lbs in them. Never had a problem. This was with a 4dr with a b18c1 and a zex kit with drilled out jets(120+hp jets 
). Eventually, my motor crapped out before my axles did. This was with a stock clutch though

Did I just read that right a stock clutch running 22's w/ 12psi and a 120 hp squeeze to top it off. What is wrong with you.......

Wow, STOCK clutch? No wonder your axles didn't give out yet...the clutch was probably slipping enough to absorb some of the stress from a high rpm launch with slicks. What were your 60ft times BTW?
