Did something happen to them? I can not seem to PM them and their website seems to be down.

I must have missed something?????

Thanks...makes sense. I saw the collections ban. Just curious. Their website is down too, so I guess things are not good for them right now. Was hoping to get some axles.

Quite the contrary! Thomas is doing great, and he will set you up with a set of way superior axles. Just give him a call.
We have been working together on a clutch kit. I have it in my car right now testing and all is well.

good luck with his clutch kits! broken dowls, mix matched parts that he doesnt know what they are... what slave is it? and then a V guy got it tested to see its holing power... lets just say it came up shorter then stock!

but Good luck to you! hope he is better with you.

I love their econo drivers side axle. Dont bother me it has surface rust either which some other people on here are **** about. His axles work I wouldnt hesitate one bit buying something from him.

Doesnt he makes the axles for The Driveshaft Shop?

Like I said, Thomas and I developed a new setup specifically for the V. A new spacer system, I used my stock slave.
BTW, we have a Hendrix complete IRS 9" in our 2010 camaro project car, flawless package.
The real deal in a working car for quite some time now. Not just crude pics or vaporware talk.......

As was gforce when they couldnt decide whether the passenger or drivers side got the bigger diameter axle, hence why i canceled my order while they were making the first batch.

I bought his clutch kit when he first released it, didnt get it installed though for a few reasons.

After doing more research I think his kit comes from the same supplier as monster and diamond clutch.

I was the original tester for Gforce. It was my car that we found out that he needed a different axle for the 06-07. There was no shadiness, he designed the driver side axle for the LS2 Vs and everything works perfectly. He made everything right.

HE buys them from DSS for resale...not the other way around.

Didn't mean to start a war. Just asking a question. I have worked with him in the past with no issues, so I was just curious.

Its mostly opinion between the two. I do know that when i asked him which axle I needed for my 05, he wasnt sure it changed like 5 times before he even produced an axle. So i said no thanks cancel my order ill wait to see what happens on someone elses car.

I have a fully assembled drivers side Hendrix econo axle that I'm looking to get rid of. It has CV's on it from my '07. PM me if interested. It's ready to ship.
