Default K swap Slicks Question

My brother wants to start running slicks or maybe drag radials on his Teg. He's unsure tho if the stock RSX axles hes using with his K-swap are strong enough. The only mods he has are boltons, so hes looking at around 200 whp. So will the axles hold up or does he need to upgrade? Any help is appreciated.

ive seen stock axles hold up on 500 HP cars. it all depends on how the car is setup.
Good mounts? Traction bars help. suspension setup. how good is he at driving it? and Preload is your friend

Well he has hasport mounts, he was some fully adjustable apex suspension, but he is just getting into drag racing it. What is the best way to set the suspension when he races it?

every car is different. some people corner balance to set different loads on the suspension. some like the front on the softer side and the rear really stiff. depends what his sweet spot is.. its what ever the driver and car can agree on.
