    Wow, I didn't realize ECS was selling GKN axles. The OEM axles use GKN CV joints, which are very good quality. I wouldn't hesitate to run those. The $60 axles, not so much. That's going to be Chinese-made to a much lower spec and you'll be replacing them again before long.

    Quite a few run Raxles, but they're finicky when it comes to warranty and modified car. JimmyBones went with custom ones iirc Might want to hit him up.

    Forget the B8, keep the V8!

    The one I'm replacing is clicking and grinding under half lock. I'm getting a new one but thinking of keeping the old and rebuilding. Is it worth it?

    I'm running a FEQ axle as well. Only one broke so the rest are factory. It's held up great

    I went with Raxles... expensive, but they're pretty great.

    I remembered I have two OEM axles in my garage with busted boots. I'm just gonna get the rebuild kits instead of buying new axles. Thanks guys.
