Hey guys, I'm doing a b20Vtec high compression with a b16a head in my 95 ls that has about 190k miles on it. i really think i should replace my axles when i put the motor in. should i go OEM or aftermarket? I was looking at Fidanzas that have a 300HP rating but are $230 each. Also the guys over at team-integra.net talk about raxles. I'm really not sure what to do!

 

Naturally aspirated or turbo?

Estimated power?

Use?



I'm assuming NA since you didn't mention turbo. I really think you can get away with stock or generic aftermarket if you're NA, unless you're running slicks, drag racing frequently, or doing something else that will beat the shit out of your axles.

 

yeah its NA. i think the power should be in the 225 - 250 range i'm guessing. its gonna be a daily driver for my girlfriend but in all truthfulness i'll prob be getting on it pretty good on the weekends when i'd actually get to drive it. i don't want to frivolously over-do-it on the axles but i also don't want to cause myself headaches later either
