Default Affordable Axles....anyone interested ?

I am in proccess of becoming a dealer for one of the aftermarket axles manufacturer that I believe will be a good solutions to our needs. Personally, I have talked to a lot of peoples out there and from I have gathered, most of us just simply can not afford to purchase some of the higher end axles from some of the big guys out there, but in the mean time we are all looking for a cost effective solutions to our headaches of breaking OEM axles with high 200 whp to mid 350ish HP.

Personally I am really interested in testing this set of axles to see how it holds up. These guys have been manufacturing axles for some time and some of their axles are on some of the Pro fwd, Hot rods guys out there, as a matter of fact one of their sponsor driver won the NDRA event a week ago in Florida.

I am trying to see the response from the rest of you guys to see how many of you would be interested so I can decide on the best solutions as well as beneficial pricing structure for our needs..

thanks

to me it is affordable, DSS is kinda out of my price range as far as what I want to spend on a set of axles. For something comparable to DSS stage 2 using stock hub, the same comparable set of axles will be around low 300 ish. Compare to over 500 on DSS stage 2.

I am working on establishing relationship to be an exclusive dealer so not only I can be your sources for this product, but I can help choosing the best setup and be a consultive dealer instead of just selling products and not knowing squats about it.

i'm in. last summer i broke 6 axles. 4 at the strip. i'm sick and tired of breaking axles, didn't wanna spend the big money for a beefy set of axles either. this was with a n/a bolt on gsr with <U>just</U> 118 wheel ft lbs. everything was lined up correctly. mounts not torn etc. just kept popping em. e-mail me with a finalized price and details. i'd be an excellent test subject for ya:

If you're calling them affordable compared to the DSS sets, I'm in, no question.

Depending on pricing I might be in. I can't afford what DSS wants right now which is about $1,000.

I'm interested because my new setup will be in the 450whp range!

I noticed TCI has started making Import parts. Has anybody tried these axles?
