Gator axles (modified), any experiences?
Anyone have any experience with using Gator modified axles or any of their axles? Search is down right now so I can't ssearch. Should I go with DSS or Gator axles?
My setup is a 400+whp ls/vtec in an EF
Thanks

theres a guy selling the stage 3 modifieds for $430 US which is a significant difference from $850 US for the DSS and that is why I am asking. Seems like no one has problems with gators lately...

Re: (B18 CYA)
I now have over 65 passes and some daily driving with the gator HP's with no problems, then again I only broke about 3 stock axles. I know the gators are stronger than my gears. lol. They are equiped with a stock size outer spline. My best 60 foot is only a 1.58 so I guess im really not loading them as hard as everyone else in SFWD.
DSS if you are a Baller.
Gator HP's if you want to put all that money somewhere else into the car.
Either way, they are both great axles.

Re: (uglyasscivic)
I had gator axles in my previous setup and I need one fixed. I never got anywhere with Stan after 2 months. I threw the ****** in the trash. I would never buy Gator axles again

I'd say that maybe you should contact Gator.... Stan is just a reseller of Gator Racing Axles... just because you had a bad experience with a shop, doesn't mean the product is bad necessarily. Glenn is a good guy... maybe you should contact him directly before bashing a good product over a third party seller

Re: (ninesecrx)
I only had one problem with my Gator HP's axles. The right side popped out a little as I was doing my burn out and it sheared the end splines about 2" off the end. I called Stan and he shipped me new set over night to me at no charge. I haven't had any problem's with my Gator HP's 710whp and 486tq. Gator HP's gets my vote

Re: Gator axles (Turbocivic94)
DSS is better quality, but Gators are great for the price.
I run Gators unmodified with 550whp on slicks without a problem. Just preload and you should be fine.

Re: Gator axles (maxspeedhonda)
i wouldnt recommend gator for all motor applications. i broke 5 gators until i finally got smart and bought DSSs and have had no problems.
the guys with the turbo cars seem to have good luck with gator axles. i wasnt impressed but, i have a set of brand new gator stage 3s w/hubs for sale.
