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.

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.

Direct bolt, or adapters?

Kinda surpsied 15" fit, even though they come stock with 16"

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

I think it was a suggestion more than a comment. You have a video camera?

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?

7/8" single chain setup. Practically impossible to snap.
