99CTR - You need traction bars, that will help reduce/eliminate wheel hop

B16 - go get your wheels/tires balanced then report.

When I had an ITR swap last year, I used B16 axles all the time...you're not making enough power to "power kill" axles, it's the hop that will kill axles at the level you're at. If you were making 350-400 whp it might be a different story, but I would say traction bars would be your best option at THIS point.

stock axles and traction bars.
I have the Z10 traction bars and there is only 5% wheel hop comapred to before. worthy investment.

when i swapped my ITR i used JDM itr axles and a ITR half shaft. I HAVE NO PROBLEMS. The only problem i had was with my Axel seal cuase the axle was stuck and i guess the seal ripped when i was pulling the axel out. If nothing else you cant go wrong with stock ITR specially if you are making less than 200hp to the wheels!
