IF you don't replacing their shitty axles every other week. Broke 4 of their axles in a month. ALL of the axles were clicking when I installed them.

never had a problem with the cheapo's. Hell i have had my oriley axles for over 3 years now with likely over 50 passes on them, which 10 of them were on slicks launching at 8k+. I rather get the cheap ones and replace them for free rather than keep paying for new axles.

Labor adds up even if youre doing it yourself.....
GATOR Stage2's with about 20k miles, 50+ 1/4 passes(@2-270whp)1500 miles of roadracing.....
STOCKERS are fine but they are not forgiving.....one wrong move and snap!
MD, youre a PIMP!

Yep.....I haven't had to deal with that yet....but my shop has plenty of times. Never let down!
Do GATORS break? Sure they do.....I would say most of the time its user error though. I have been happy with mine for 3yrs.
If you don't mind spending time fixing your car instead of driving it, go for a LIFETIME replacement cheapy brand.....The more you swap axles, the quicker you will be....thats the positive thing I guess.
Alot of stock axle breakage just has to do with age....like I said, youre on borrowed time with OEM type shafts.

Thats a statement like STOCK H22's can handle 7-9psi.......
Stock axles can break with stock power on street tires or go for years with BIG power on slicks.......90% driver I would have to say!
MD runs 10's on stock axles with crazy power!
Friends have broken stock axles with 175whp......
Launching is key of course......Preload'ing FTW!

Call Marty at Raxles. He's the nicest guy you will ever talk to. He makes good stuff. Also packs it with synthetic grease. Great product. I won't buy axles from anyone else anymore.

Are these upgraded axles or just OE replacement axles? I googled the name and it showed up as a distributor for OE replacement axles.

They are OE, however I wouldn't be surprised if he would make something custom. Give him a call. He could at least give you good advice.
