i keep on breaking stock axles...really would like to upgrade...cant really afford the 600-800$ axles...my set up has about 200whp...what would be good for me??
i gotta civic with b18b swap and nitrous..thanks in advance for any advice

 

If thats exspensive then you don't have much options. With that kind of power you really shouldn't have any problems. Try driving the car better. Preload the driveline. I had about 240-260 whp and slicks going mid 11's with alot of 1.6-1.7 60ft's and never broke a stock axel.

 

fix your mounts

 

With your set up you shouldn’t need to get “racing” axles. Like 2.0 Coupe said try pre loading the drive train before you launch the car. I don’t know if you are using drag radials, but if you are your tire pressure might be to low causing the tires to bite a little too much. All in all what I’m saying is try doing a few things differently before you go out and spend a decent amount of money on unneeded parts.

stock axles will be fine. if they snap then theyre cheap to replace anyways.

What he said

 

Or you can order some Axles there only like 300 bucks and will hold that HP, Order them from that guy ^, lol

 

i dont know about the whole motor mount deal, i break alot of axles too at about 150 whp but have never broken one at launch, i always break them on the 1-2 shift. i have checked my mounts again and again, and they are fine. i do not however understand WHY i break them, everyone says check your mounts check your mounts, and i have. anymore ideas on this.

 

also might want to check the alignment of the axles, if the car is lowered the axle might be at the wrong angle causing too much stress. Try using a camber kit

 

I can sell you some Drive Shaft Shop stage 2 axles for a good price...hit me up.

i was putting over 400 to the wheels on stock axles. find a good set of oem axles, not the ones from autozone, napa, o-reily. they are crap

 

i think u are breaking axels because your driving the car correctly. they should break if ur shifting hard, at least autozone ones do,

find some OEM axles and u should be ok....

 

do you think your motor mounts dont do anything when you are shifting??????????

You need solid mounts that wont whip your drivetrain around when you are shifting hard.

 

ok...the axles keep on clicking...not actually breaking..just eventually start to click real bad...sorry for the confusion...this is however the thrird time this has happened..
