Default h22a swap axel question

i am getting an h22 here in a couple of days and i just wanted to know if i should get h22 axels to use those or use the stock f22 axels? also the car hasn't moved in almost a year and it had about 3/4 of a tank of gas in it, will that old gas cause any kind of problems? oh yeah it is a 95 5th gen accord

why are the accord axels the ones to use? aren't the h22 axels stronger? or do they not fit?

the lude axles fit, but they are too long and will bind and eventually break. i just noticed my cv making noise again the other day. looks like this will be my 2nd broken passenger side axle in 2yrs. i have accord axles from autozone.

yet....they wear a lot faster than the accord axles do.....they're forced into a non-natural position and have no choice but to go out early......seen them last a few weeks only, under hard driving

i'm using 90-93 accord axles in my 90 h22a accord.....don't make enough power to break them

Drain the old gas and fill up with some premium gas before you take it in for the swap. New engines gonna need higher octane gas.
