Yikes!

My sex energy has been very fucked up lately. Are you able to get cursed from axles? Thanks.

Haha. The wheelhop was a good indicator of when to ease off, you don't have that anymore. Let us know how it turns out when you hit second and you're facing the opposite direction before you blink your eyes or the first time that beast decides to go completely sideways at freeway speeds.

See if Hendrix will replace that axle for you. Someone will be willing to buy it and you can recoup some of your money or save it for some 1000 Hp ones that you're going to need. Maybe he'll give you credit toward the other ones.

i will try that, thanks. I'm actually thinking about an 8.8. my buddy just tore his IRS out of his cobra for a solid axle, and he wants to sell it, disc to disc, for 800 bucks.

you could prob part out the rest of the cobra cradle for at least $500..3k for the 1000hp axles & DS & brackets... decent deal if you wanna deal with parting it out.

Great thread!
Our anti wheel hop axle bar kit is a great seller and has great feedback. They are in stock ready to ship out.

Also, dont forget we have a lifetime warranty on our axles. Break it and we replace it. Not something that happens often but you have the peace of mind knowing it has a lifetime warranty.

You can also trade your axles in on our 9" down the road if you ever decide to put the ultimate rear in your CTS-V.

Give us a call if you have any questions.

Thanks
Chris

Maybe we should try to put together a build/corroborative 8.8 thread that relies on the $600 bracket from Creative Steel and nothing else.

I'm in on parts lists, etc. I can fab, and all I need is to borrow someone's brackets and I can build a template......No lathes or cnc here, but I got a torch and a great welder! lol

That would be great but I really do think the bracket needs to be cnc and perfect. But who knows maybe that welder is amazing. Damn all this rear end talk has me think about nice asses and dropping clutches lol.

I think the placement of the bushing mounts has to be perfect, but that has nothing to do with a CNC.

The Differential ring needs to be exact and that can be done with a torch/drill press.

A CNC is nice, but I don't think it is necessary from what I have seen.

I disagree with the notion of taking someone else's design, using it to make a fixture and then selling a knock off. Using it to make your own, maybe. But not in any quantity more than one for yourself and maybe your best friend.
