I'm guessing maybe a Zexel Torsen unit. I'm guessing that's what I've got in mine and it's a 99' Z28 too, but with an automatic.

Who would make high stregth axles for these rears? I don't need a 9". I like my stock rear just fine so all I'm wanting to do is just refine it for my needs.

Nothing wrong at all with Moser axles. I'm sure some will disagree, but I think they make great stuff.
