I know that new 914 axels are currently available from the Porsche dealer. I found them priced between $371 to $256 each plus shipping.
While I think the stock units will be more than enough for my current plans I just started think what would it cost to step up? I looked into the Tarett High Performance Axle Set. At $699 a set not cheap. If I follow things correctly they use an adaptor plate to install beefier CV joints. In the end you have essentially a very modern set up that can pretty much handle anything that is thrown its way for similar cost as the stock ones. Just have to find 500HP to justify the purchase. Anyone used these? |

Same thing that Rennegade Hybrids does, probably same product.
The axles are VW Bus 100mm axles they are very strong. I run this in my setup but dont use the transmission side adapter because my Audi transmission I swapped the stub axles to have the boxster 100mm flanges. I run a bone stock Bus CV (which is what that kit runs as well) and have spares incase I break one. $75 for a full axle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) 400HP and I havent seen any signs of failure. |
