Fidanza axles

Description:
Fidanza CV Shafts are designed for optimum strength and performance. They incorporate “Rzeppa�-style (Alfred H. Rzeppa, Dana engineer, 1920) outboard joints that are 30% stronger than stock joints, as well as a 4340-chromemoly outer joint stub. The shafts’ center tube is also 30% thicker than standard tubes, and is manufactured from high-tensile steel. Thick, rugged yellow boots are loaded with high-temperature, high-pressure synthetic grease to protect and lubricate the CV Joints. All pertinent shafts include an ABS (anti-lock brake system) ring to ensure the system remains functional on ABS-equipped vehicles. Each CV Shaft has a rating of 300 HP.

Specs:
4340 CHROMEMOLY OUTER JOINT STUB
THICK YELLOW BOOTS LOADED WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE, HIGH PRESSURE SYNTHETIC GREASE. 30% THICKERCENTER TUBE.
"RZEPPA" STYLE JOINTS

Having heard about this phantom product i finally was able to track a set down from Fidanza directly. We installed them into a customers 97 prelude with great success. He loved them having blown a few before...and said they performed great....better than the stocks.

My customer liked them so much that i decided to upgrade mine while i was upgrading my engine. I ordered a set and installed them. they didnt fit right. they were about an inch too long on both sides. I sent this set back and FIdanza gladly sent me another set. The new set fit better....but not perfect. The driver side axle fit great. The passenger side was just a lil too short on the hub side. My wheel bearing started to come off. We fabricated a spacer and since then the axles have been wonderfull. I have less wheel spin and better traction. I wouldnt say that its WOW as much as a traction bar or underbrace. but i would say that if youre looking for a good way to beef up the axles and have good driveabliity then Fidanza is the way to go. They are MUCH cheaper than the other brands which start at about 600-800 each side. FIdanza is about 275 each.

on a scale of 1-10 i give these an 8....but saying that...ive never given a product a 10.

I've been lookin at these for a while... glad to see a review. If you say they don't fit perfectly, do you think Fidanza is gonna fix that?
