I am liking the good responses. it sounds like there are a lot of really good products out there. so unless a consumer out there has had a bad experience it may boil down to hp rating for the $. Or warranty for each.

After doing a little research, I have found that we might be the only company that actualy makes our axles in house and not farm it out to a machine shop.

All the other players either have one of us black label (Private lable) them or sell as a dealer.

The three I've been looking at have been yours, DSS and Hendrix.

Isn't your car lowered? Do you have any problems with our axles rubbing?

My car is lowered and there are zero issues with clearance with the 300M axles. If I am correct, the only axles that might have issues are the Outlaw axles. The 300M axles are an incredible design and will hold anything you can throw at them. Chris is top notch and his product is the best on the market, in my personal opinion and customer service is second to none.

Chris I am still wanting that 9" rearend. So hopefully you can get 2 of these together as I know Bruce is getting one as well. My car is getting close to completion and the 9" rearend and driveshaft are the only missing pieces.

I totally forgot about those....they are out there too.

I know DSS had to revise their level 5 axles due to lowering issues.

Sounds great, I've got Bruces 9" in the weld up jig. It should finish up end of this coming week. I have a CTS-V that is supposed to deliver on the 4th that we have to finish up including under car video of the new 9". It'll be in a few magazines

I've researched the DSS and GForce axles quite a bit and the only things that sets them apart that I've found are the CV joint and the price. The DSS CV joint looks to be better made and they are a few hundred less expensive (still overpriced IMO). That makes the choice DSS for me.

GFORCE1320 · 11-26-2010, 03:07 PM

Our axle material and design is what sets us apart if you ask me.
Dont believe everything you read on line

And we machine every spline on our axles, rolling splines is NOT the strongest method of splining. Most places dont have the ability to machine splines and would rather farm it out.
If that was the case we would have customer breaking our axles and simply do not.
I still stand behind our near perfect track record on cv joints. 1 broken cv joint out of thousands on the road.
We make products that dont break, we use a cv joint that doesnt break and we use only the best material for axles.
We've had such a great track record that we are even kicking around starting a lifetime warranty program on our axles.
The compitition has never had any real compitition on IRS axles and have never had to explain what they make axles from until we started into the market a few years ago. It's all changed now.
