In the Early Days of AWD Swaps for these cars there were No Aftermarket Solutions for axles that held "powah!" The only way to get extra engagement to the ground was to make custom axles that could be used for the front and rear to reduce cost and complexity. The solution was to resort to a grassroots approach to performance. This resulted in a series of axle design called the, "Extreme Series and the Elite Series." Extreme Series Axles followed a Porsche/ VW 90mm Likeness allowing the use of inner/outer Porsche/ Vw Modular Axle Bearings to be used with a Honda Axle with custom inner and outer flange joints configured for high Output made of 4340 Billet Steel.

Forged from solid blocks of metal these parts were CNC'd to the general shape and a spline machine was used to thread the ends and also add the desired diameter and spline profiles to each. Ill be using this for my Integra also. The benefit is a modular axle that is easily adaptable, easy to service, provides extreme duty, high hp capability and an easy approach to maintenance. The Extreme Series is 90mm EMPI Joint based and provides 18 Degrees of articulation per side before bind as opposed to Honda's tri-lobe ball bearing design that only allowed 14 degrees before binding. The Elite 108mm axle kit was configured to allow up to 25 degrees of angularity over the OEM Honda design allowing not only steering angle but full suspension geometry to be seen with room to spare. Over the many months in preparation and manufacturing importing parts became harder and quantities got harder to reach due to greed and I started looking for alternate manufacturing. End result was 108mm 40mm/33 Spline Front outer joints and 28 spline inner axle flanges Elite Axles for the Type R and B Series Configuration and 100mm Rear Axles using 32mm/ 26 Spline outer hubs and 25 Spline CR-V Inner Spline to the differential.

Been evaluating the technology for the AWD System I have installed on my car and trying to figure out which diff I wanted to run. The differences are based on weight but also ease of access to parts. Though I make most of my own parts the Wagon diff represents the strongest for what most believe will handle power but I have designed a whole bunch of parts for the CRV Differentials that make it capable of handling Mad powa!

Wagon diffs are expensive and hard to find, I can also make them in Billet but the cost and time is far more than I want to invest to make one for this car but could go either direction at this point

So the choice is Wagon Diff with external Billet Viscous, or CRV with Internal Viscous and 25 spline torsen lsd using Wagon axles.

You know I had to do this one!

In the Early Days of AWD Axles were the problem!

So for those a AWD Honda Guys
