#16639, "Upgraded axles"




          

Ok those of you which i think are very few that have upgraded there axles....do these also reduce unsprung weight at the wheels and also...will these improve handling...generally they are alot stiffer for the horsepower that is generally made for it...so would they also help my handling since I am about to start investing in the rest of my handling and suspension

Right now I am running the Koni Yellows with Strut Tower Bars....I still need to invest in sway pars and lower tie bars....and probably the complete energy suspension kit



Performance: Stuff that makes my car run better or go faster

Looks: Stock because looks doesnt make my car go faster or run better

Weight Reduction: CF Hood, No A/C or Powersteering Accessories, No rear interior

the new axles should have no performance difference cept they could be slightly heavier.. maybe...

unless youre gonna or are breaking axles dont bother...

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

Unless somebody makes a carbon fiber or aluminum driveshaft, the beafier units made to hold power would be heavier, hense sap more power to turn = less power to the wheels. Only upgrade if you have a high hp car that is snapping stockers.
