My Hendrix Axles are going to be installed on Monday, will be testing them out on Wed @ the track with 315-35-18 DR's, I will also have a big rear sway bar & BMR trailing arms. I'm going to see how hard I can come outta the hole with this setup and see what the wheel hop is like with the big sway bar & new trailing arms. It would be nice if it was like my 4th gen & I could just do a 6k dump and have it hook.

Why wouldn't the guys braking them just get them repaired under warranty?

I believe in preventative maintenance, I have 7 days of cruising and racing coming up & right after that I have the shootout. I don't want to be sidelined my first day of racing due to not hardening up my axles. That's why 1 of my 4th gens has a12 bolt, the other one has an S60 & my elcamino has a 9". The stock beefed up rear in my regal should be good deep into the 9's. Also the drivetrain warranty on my 5th gen is already blown.

Bring it back too the "old school" axles

For having 700hp on a stock rear end you didn't do any work to it?
