MotorsportsPerformanceGroup can get them for you. Price isn't any cheaper than online, but you'll be supporting a local business! Mine was shipped on Monday.

Any of you guys know a place around us that could rebuild axles. I wanna get my bad one done for future use!

Alas, I don't need to defend him. His work speaks for itself. (Flaming begins...lol)

not sure if you're talking about me or not, but believe me I am speaking from personal experience. I 'almost' had dynoflash AL toon my car back in 05. I drove up to Proven Performance in CT for a custom tune and within a matter of a few minutes he managed to fry my ECU.

I've never told anyone not to go to him. but that's my rant...dont take anything in this thread too personal!
Yea, agreed. I know I'm not going to change the opinions of people in this thread, as there are some who will never use his services. And that's totally fine, I am not a Girl Scout selling cookies. That wasn't the intent of my post.

But I also think the 3rd, 4th, 5th gen info that's passed around sometimes, not only on this topic, but others, is not correct at all. It's so diluted from the actual event, the new rant is something totally different than what it started with. There's so many other variables, most often the important peices are left out, so it's totally useless information. Like the thread about an Evo X blowing the engine with just an intake and catback. Who knows what the f else he was doing with his car that he will never admit to or explain.

I can probably bet that if you did use his services, what you are poking at, isn't true at all. That's my point.

No, sorry. I left it vague because there are those who it was intended for, know it. If you are confused as h#ll, then you were supposed to skip over it and say..."That guys crazy!"

But no, I wasn't talking about any of those shops.
