built axle and cv's will still break if you bog it hard enough

Tried DSS axles before back in 04 , I bogged it off the line on drag radials , Snapped the CV joint right away in 2 passes

which dss model, im guessing the 2.9's?

for a forced induction set up i'd go the 5.9's as a min with billet hubs, should give you a bit more safety, although adds a bit more weight, as with anything, still a chance of breaking something in racing!

I know dss did a while ago change their shaft line ups, due to snapping problems, so in effect like 5.9's became 2.9's for example.

It was the early days DSS axles back in 04-05.
These days we just run OEM honda axles.

thanks for all the input guys....................

i have also discussed with my tuner whaqt i should do, and he also sudjested the 24.5x8 / 15's........................for practicality..........

however the best and most ideal option is to change my front brakes to crx or civic and use 24.5x8 / 13's........................

will see what happens.....................thanks again for all ur input.............

now its time to search and find some crx or civic brakes............

Yes. The 24.5 x 8 x 13 is the best option if you are prepared to change your brakes.
