Default Enjo Axles Good?

I've got a '90 crx with a B16 in it, and need a pair of axels, i was wondering what the general opinions are on the Enjo Axels, are they worth it?

This may sound biased, but i'm just speaking from personal experience... I actually used to have a set of Raxles on my car, until they broke rather easily one day. So, we dissasembled them, and found that the bearings used were nothing more than the same sort of needle bearings that are in an autozone-type rebuilt axle. i.e. very cheaply made axle. The Gator Racing axles actually use uprated bearings, with oversized races/***** to make sure that the axle is very tight and strong. I know that i would never buy a Raxle again after i saw inside it compared to the Gators. Just some food for thought

The pricing is per side, so it would be $299.90 plus shipping for the pair. If you have any other questions about the axles, please let me know

I feel your pain. They were quite costly for me as well. I chose to not call him back after i saw what bearings were being used in the axle. When i saw it was a needle bearing similar (exactly) to a lot of cheapo reman'd axles, i decided that i did not want them in my car, even if they were fixed and rebuilt for free. Again, this is all my own personal opinion based on what i went through, but my experience is why our shop sells the Gator Racing Axles now instead of carrying Raxles. I do still have the Raxles at the shop, and i may in fact break the other one apart, and compare it to the Gator Racing Axle components so that you guys can see what i'm talking about exactly well see though.... right now i'm on my way to N9, so i'm out of the shop for a bit
