Default Upgrade axel options??

I have a fully built 2000 civic siR I have snapped an axel once already what are my choices for aftermarket axles that can handle a little more power? I'm making 350whp at the moment but by this coming summer I should be around 400whp any help would be appreciated

Driveshaft shop (DSS), Raxles, Gator Racing. Do your research! I know at least one of those companies has kind of a poor reputation so dig around for reviews and complaints.

That said if you're breaking axles at 350hp your problem probably isn't the axles but driver error and lack of an LSD. Or you might have just gotten a bad axle.

thanks man they are oem axles and I do have a fully built transmission with LSD main reason for upgrading is from a stop building boost at the strip I know I would snap the oem axles instantly last time they snapped was I was coming from a yield onto the highway stomped on it and passenger one snapped

Hmm no I don't get wheel hop.... That's weird well next summer if it snaps I will take a picture of the axle and post it up I can't remember where the axle snapped last time could have been a faulty axle or like the other guy mentioned could be driver error it happened when I was getting use to the 6 puck clutch lol
