I'm looking to have about 190-200 whp in my 4th gen prelude with a Jdm h22a. I want to get some slicks for my first time at the track, i was wondering will stock axles hold up running 1/4 mile runs??
If not what axles should i get? and do you have any suggestions on slick sizes i should use? Also what rims would i put them on?

 

ive heard that the stock axles hold up to 300whp so you should be fine..but if not its not to far off...

 

with slicks??? the stock axles will hold up

 

yup someone correct me if im wrong but i remember reading it on a thread.

 

Also why do you need slicks for 190-200 hp? Stock axles will be able to hold that amount w/slicks.

 

because im trying to get low 14's or high 13's, with no internals in my 4thgen prelude, with about 200-300 pounds of weight reduction, and a tune. And im also tired of my friends ragging on preludes, i want to show them what they can really do

 

bump, i need an definite answer quick because im about to put my lude back on the road from its winter hibernation
Should i go with autozone axles or somthing better or i should be fine with http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWD1V some ebay ones?

How about these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWD1V

 

i personally wouldnt trust buying axles off of egay. And it seems that you dont even need aftermarket axles, just save your money and buy something else

 

i broke my stockers in half with just around 250 street tune with a stage 3 kev clutch..the passenger side one anyways...so i replaced both. did it shifting into second gear on a touge run, that sucked. tires were nexen n3000 zr 16s

 

Ive never had a problem with mine. i had 242 hp h23, and a 207 hp h22, and never had a problem with axels.

 

The launches are what will kill the axles. I ruined 2 sets back in the street-racer days from dropping the clutch multiple times.

If you're going to hold the rpms high and drop the clutch on your launch at the track, you will break the stock axles eventually.

 

if i get them from autozone, are they not covered by a life time warranty?

I run NAPA new axles on my H1 Prelude. No, I don't ask for warranty parts but they seem fine to me. I also used NAPA axles on my turbo HU ITR. No issues.

Toyo's aren't as sticky as drag slicks..
