Stronger cv axles
Tuesday, March 06, 2007 8:40 PM
Ok so my car is slammed and hasn't torn them up yet but they are going out soon. So I have been looking at this site http://www.driveshaftshop.com/CavalierParts.ivnu Now whick one would be a better idea to get for how low I am and for prob 250-300 hp later on down the road. No keep in mind I have a bunch of suspension @!#$ done that is in my registery and I do a lot of hard driving and auto crossing. So let me know what you guys think I should get.

thats a lot of scratch but can't hurt to upgrade.

you may want to contact the site, and see what they think about using them for auto X.

Not sure if you're planning on staying with those rims, but you may want to consider doing an NFW brake swap, and using the W body axles/hubs. Those are a lot beefier than the J-body, and the parts are readily available.

Call them first to check, the steeper the angle a cvs shaft has between one side and the other the quicker there going to wear out no matter how strong they are, with completely straight being the absolute least wear. Are you running any camber when your slammed? If you arn't running any a little may help in taking some load off of em.

I am running -1 on each side for now might go more later on down the road.
