Didn't get these for looks, but I totally agree.
Slicks for 15 inch wheels are MUCH MUCH cheaper than slicks for 18 inch wheels. And It's only the front two for the track. _________________ 1998 Grand Prix GT | 12.91 @ 103 - Sold/Retired

Have you used them yet?
Have a friend running a set of 13's on bogart rims and he has snapped axles several times. Even running the Stage 3 500+ hp axles. _________________

I have not ran them yet, still awaiting the built tranny...
I purchased the stage 1 axel, so we will see how that will hold up. Preloading the axles is a huge step too. _________________ 1998 Grand Prix GT | 12.91 @ 103 - Sold/Retired

How do they rate an axle with HP when it all comes down to torque? _________________ E30

I think it was a suggestion more than a comment.

Not on the built one. Input shaft is good for 750 WHP So is the Chain. _________________ 1998 Grand Prix GT | 12.91 @ 103 - Sold/Retired

The Axle company just gives them a rating (obviously it was not a good rating since the friend maybe has 330 to the wheel and he snaps them.) But he also doesn't put the axles in a good angle either since it is a swapped honda car. _________________

| I've seen a few FWD transmissions use a chain. Doesn't it connect the tranny to the differential? |
