The stock axle is one from my car I snapped in Dallas last summer. The Stage II is from driveshaft.com and I believe they go for around $500. The Stage II is reinforced everywhere including the CV joint and does not weigh any more due to being hollow inside. Realize it is also made of stronger material on top of being beefier. The one in the picture is a new design based on Armond's car. It should hold just fine to most normal people, but Armond can break anything. There is also a stage III for $900, but it does not support ABS.

Oh, the stock axle snapped during regular driving. :(

Brad, you got your car all together and up and running yet?? Ive been real busy with work. Havent been keeping up with 2gnt. Too busy making money so I can upgrade pretty much the whole car. =]

Who needs ABS? The stage 3 axles look very similar to the stage 2's. I think just the hub side of the axle is bigger. I have already broken the inner CV of one of my Stage 3 axles. }>

Luckily, Frank (driveshaft shop) is a real good guy and stands behind his products. I didn't get it fixed for free, but it was a damn fair price and quick too.

all parts on the stage 3 axles are made with a higher carbon content chromoly than the stage 2's.

wow i like it! this is definitely a must have, i've already messed up two axles within 2 years , so i'm probably going to invest on this one.

TO MURIX:

Do you have the manual to the Stage 5 HRC turbo?
Can you scan it and post it?
Thanks

Murix doesn't have a stage 5 turbosystem, also, there isn't a "instruction manual" for it. they simply send you all the manuals they have for each individual product (I got instructions for stuff that didnt' even come with the system when I bought mine.)
