New 914 Axels, Taking A Step Up Options

[Mblizzard]

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?

The big HP/ Tq. numbers on these axles kind of morphed out of the off road Baja, Sand- buggy market. Rigs powered by big hp GM LS engines,
and requiring crazy CV joint angles for jumping huge berms + taking hard landings. These are called 300M axles and I've sourced a couple from an off-road outfitter www.mckenzies.com in Anaheim Ca., but most off road retailers carry these. Mckenzies also offers 930 style joints made out of higher grade materials (over stock mtl.) including low friction cages/ ball bearings. Also using Krytox brand c/v joint lube. They offer various axle lengths, splines and a great technical staff . 934 style CV's avail as well, but the dia will not fit into 914 trailing arms.
