The Accord and prelude axles are almost the same i would definatly go with some prelude axles only because they were ment to hold an h22 plus cheeper than buying aftermarket

Wrong, the prelude axles will fit and are a good idea for the extra power, check out the article on http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com

they did the swap and it tells you exactly what you can do.

no actually you are wrong.

prelude axles are longer than both 4th and 5th gen accord axles. the sport compact car writeup has several errors which will cause long term problems with any swap.

the proper way to do the install is use the axles designed for the chassis when it comes to h22a's in accords. thus if you have a 4th gen accord use the 4th gen axles.

as far as power, the 4th gen axles hold plenty of power, i have only made it up to 210 hp and 202 ln/ft of torque on stock axles but never had an issue with them, and i know people who have done far more that that with no issues.
