Default Axle question for a EG Hatch, swap or aftermarket?

Hey dudes,

My EG Hatch has a B18 swap and I was wondering are there any other axles that fit my car for ex the GSR axles, or Type R or are there any heavy duty aftermarket axles available for my car? I am a newb when it comes to civics and I basically need axles that support up to 400 HP. Thanks!

An LS doesn't need aftermarket axles unless you're boosted. Even then, I'm sure people are running stock axles perfectly fine.
Rick Rabies has a GSR swap running 10lbs of boost and when talking to him, he said that if you run really strong axles the transmission will give out first. Now, would you rather blow transmissions at $4-700 or axles you can get with a lifetime warranty from Autozone? They'll get suspicious of you snapping axles on the weekends, but I don't recall the warranty saying it's void if your engine is modified.

Also, don't buy GSR axles unless you have ABS. Buy the axles for an RS. They'll fit just the same, but they don't have the ABS sensor rings and they'll be cheaper.

Ok I i am boosted at around 280 HP to the wheels right now but I do want to hit the 400HP mark so will stock axles still be a good option? My Hatchie is an Si n has ABS too btw.
