Default Axel Replacement (anything better than oem?)

Well, my CV joint boot ripped and need to replace the axel (heard you should replace the whole thing)

Are there any axels that would be better suited for AutoXing than OEM honda?

This is my Daily Driven 1994 Honda Accord Auto Sedan

i was encouraged to use oem replacements, which i did, especially if there isn't any extra power being made from the motor...

Did I read their site wrong this morning? Looks like they cost $400. Per axle.

That's a lot.

many options out there. i never say this, but search. did you really think you were the 1st person on here that needed a replacement axle?

oh... many many thumbs ups to DSS. they stand behind their product 150%, even when its not even their product at fault!

Ditto, and Id rather break a less expensive axel then break something more serious in the driveline with stronger axels, IMO.
