Yes. the strength of the axle has no bearing on how the car rolls on the street. So you can run both the performance ans stock without issues. Now, how long the remaining old stock axle lasts is up in the air. The performance axle should hold while your stock one breaks! Usually if you are putting down more power than a stock axle can handle it would be advisable to replace both at the same time. If you can't afford both, replace one, and then do not beat on the car until you can afford to replace the other.


Just out of curiosity, what Setup are we talking here? What year, engine using? N/A or boosted? What transmission are you running?

If you are running that much power to the ground to require performance axles you may want to look at the more expensive parts that may break once you strengthen the axles.... I.E. the gears in the transmission. If you haven't already replaced them.
