if you have a high torque engine your probably gonna break some axles. worst case you break the differental. http://www.driveshaftshop.com
they have GOOD axles.

WOW! That's some really bad luck you had with breaking stuff. I help out at Deepstage Motorsports... 7th place overall in NHRA Hot Rod last year. They were running mid 10's on 26x10x13 MT's with axles from Autozone. Once torque got over 400 ft/lbs they started to break axles left and right. Driveshaftshop.com has the good stuff if you're breaking them. They also use a "spool" instead of a diff. That may have something to do with them not breaking axles, but i don't think so.

the old 1.5L blew 2 trannys on 20x8x14 MT's.

22x8x15 don't hook, period.

I broke 2 axles on street tires, 1 pressure plate on street tires, and 1 clutch disc and pressure plate on slicks.

92 Civic CX making over 200whp.

I had better luck Friday night. Didn't break anything. Keeping my fingers crossed for next week also.
