Funny.. I need new axles too now. I bought Napa's crappy house brand axles when I did my ZE swap last year, and the CV joints are all going. There's about 2-3 degrees of play and they clunk and clatter. The boots are fine.. everything still sealed. The play is mostly on the inner joints.

Let me know what you end up going with. I was told good things about Raxles a while back.

Hmm... what if I don't have the bill? :( I might, but I highly doubt it. I'm terrible with these things.

That is not true, I had never hurt any of my many axles that i snapped on the launch. I always broke them hitting 2nd gear. And after several axles, you'll get tired of breaking them and going through the whole swapping process.

If your snapping them like this every time, then you'll need stronger axles. I ended up buying some from CVTECH, I don't have a phone number but they are in Canada.

even with 300whp/trq you wont need aftermarket axels. The stock ones are more than most will ever need and plus you will crack you tranny case/ blow out gears before you snap axels. Buy a LSD instead

very well known for Honda's the one for the kl I think has some issues. Dansac aka Frakenprobe was doing testing with them and they have some play in the axles. You can grab the axle and pull it out about an inch on each side. They are workin with him on correcting the problem before they start production. But they should be a good unit and fairly well priced.
