Default Fidanza Axles?

Anyone had any luck using Fidanza axles for b-series? From what ive read they have models that support 300 and 400hp. Just curious if anyone has used them..pros and cons etc etc...Thanks

Fidanza does somekind of weld on the outer joint ,that at that time came apart and strips the splines. Unless they have fixed that I wouldn't try them. I am saying they wouldn't last two days with out coming apart. A friend of mine went through 2 sets and just asked for a refund.

It was about 2 years ago max. He then switched to Gator axles. I do believe after riding in the car with him that it was partially driver error.

Gator is in Orlando and seems to be good with customer service, whereas other companies you have to ship the axles.
