Well my main problem last year was my axles, going from brand new to that beautiful clicking noise they make shortly before they fail in 2-3 weeks.
I have been using the standard integra axles that do work with my swap (B18C1 into EJ6), but I guess I am looking for something that can help prevent my axle issues.
I attribute the majority of my issues to the car being lowered and the camber being corrected. When it is lowered and corrected it seems like the axle is a little too long, so the outer boot is slightly bent and ultimately stressed more than it should be.
Put simply I am wondering if the civic si (b16) axles are the same length as the integra ones, and if anyone knows if the "b series swap" axles are the same as well.
If I have no other choices I guess I will just raise the car up a little and throw some camber at it to try and straighten the axle as much as possible.
Short Version:
Are b16 and other b series swap axles the same length as integra axles?

Yes they are the same.The diferent ones are 90-93 tegs.I run 99-00 si ones.but I've got integra spares and they are the same length.What issues are you having?

The issue is basically no matter what type of driving I do on them, the axle will separate from itself inside of the outer boot, both driver and passenger sides have failed multiple times. I can expect when racing on them, especially now that Im running higher power levels than before, that the stock axles will fail, but even babying them I am still having the problem where they begin to fail.
Like I said I will probably just end up raising the car up a bit and throwing some camber at it until the axle is as flat as can be.
Thanks for the response guys

as with what everyone else is saying, they are the same....i have a B16 in my eg and i'm using the axles out of a del sol.....but anyway, a possible solution if you have the time and knowledge, is you can swap out the outer boot and bearing from the B series and replace it w/ your stock civic boot and bearing. and when I say bearing, i dont mean wheel bearing, i mean axle bearing. correct me if i am wrong guys
