Ordered from Newman on this message board, his site is http://www.jdmshit.com, easily one of the best transactions I've ever had, even wrote about it in my sig.

Stay away from raxles, I used them when I first did my h22ek, the teisted off cause they are junk. Go with the 90-93 accord inter. shaft and 90-91 teg axles!I will post pics of the raxles axles when I find them!

Here is one pic, if you need more I have some! These are from the same side (passanger) abou 2 weeks apart. Not to mention that the axles were binding very badly the entire time due to the fact they were the wrong lengths! Note the twisted splines!!!!

H22EK: Could you show some more pics and give some more feedback on the Raxle axles. That's the first set that I chose to run, I just want to know what I'm in for. After the fact that I bought them I heard some not-so-great things about them.

That's the first set that I chose to run, I just want to know what I'm in for. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Those picts were taken by me in my old living room (dirty *** rug with beer stains on it ) but to make things more clear, here's how the Raxle axles broke. First set - the steering wheel was at a full turn and then mashing the throttle caused the first axle to break. Second set - was racing, launched fine and shifted into second gear, squeezing w/NOS, and snapped right there.

Now, are raxles good or bad? All depends but those are examples of what happenned to the axles so that gives you a better idea of what they were put through. I can say that they were binding on his car when he drove around town so Raxles definetely did not give him the correct lengths (both times) so that also had something to do with it. When you have the correct length axles, with no binding, and the axles are not at a sharp angle, then you can put a lot of power to them and they won't break (ex: my old H22 EG hatch with a 100 shot of NOS on the track, launching with 22x7x13 MT slicks..... I was scared that I'd snap my axle right in half, like another guy did with the same slicks on his EK hatch, but I lucked out)
