If anyone is thinking about upgrading their axles this winter please consider the DSS Pro axles, they seem like a way better option than the DSS level 5 and with the discount I am trying to get it would only be slightly more.

I am working with a Injected Performance to get a pretty deep discount on these axles, I only need 5 other people besides me to buy at the same time.

Ryan pm'd me. But until tax time, i cant drop 1800$ on axles. Plus with the winter upon us, the car will sit anyhow. My replaced stock axles are fine for the street.

if guys wait til the spring, i'll be in then

 

Add me to the list...I'm in.

 

I'm in for a group buy. Thanks for arranging it. Just to be clear, the price is for both axles, correct? It says "each", so just wondering...

PS: Do you need air tools to get this bolted on?

 

I'd be very interested too, although not before the end of the year. Very good discount price though!!

 

I dont see a price? 1,800.00?

 

Technically, no you don't need air tools. It's nice to have a powerful impact gun to remove the 32mm axle nut on the outside of the hub though.

Axles can be a piece of cake to swap out or kind of a biotch depending on what exhaust you have.

 

Ok thanks. I don't have an impact wrench but I have one huge breaker bar. Hopefully it will do. Exhaust is Motordyne - all v-band clamps - can be dismantled in 3 mins.

 

Maybe, it depends on the price. I already have the DSS level 2's.

 

Rcdash,

I replace my snapped axle in like 30 mins. Very easy. My exhaust is v-banded as well. Prolly need an impact though, well I did bc my axle was broke and would spin

I also needed a 5 ton puller to get the axle from the hub, but you can borrow those from autozone.

The 50$ electric impact from harbor freight is prolly the best tool i have ever bought!


I was told the 3 person price was 1900$ and the 6 person price was $1800. Thats the same as buying 12 pairs of stock axles

 

Yup he is correct, with 6 people it is $400 off of retail price. Im not sure on the timeline but I was hoping once more people got together we could take a consensus vote

 

So I need this (nice to have or must have?):

and I bought an electric impact wrench (rated at some 400 ft lbs) at one point to get my stock catalytic converters off and it did squat, so I returned it in exchange for the largest breaker bar I could find (which worked nicely).

EDIT: in regards to the cost being 12x stock, the fact is that no one wants to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere with a broken axle. I want to be able to drive to ZdayZ or the drag strip and have some peace of mind about launching the car (now that I've got the 2-step on my auto wired up - think I'm the first to try it. ).

 

2 step on an auto? Are you going to neutral drop it

 

^^LOL good point. I think Rcdash needs a transbrake instead of 2 step

On the street, you'll burn out before you break an axle. Its only on a VHT prepped tracks with DRs or slicks, that you would have to worry. Now if I can start getting you out to the strip in the spring, thats another thing

Although, yes buy a pair. That helps me save some money as well


also, there is no way to get the axle out of the hub without a puller (at least one that would be quicker than the 5 min drive over to autozone to rent one-- which I still need to return). I had a 3 jawed one.

 

Ummm, no. I think that might work, once! lol. Brake stop lamp switch is routed through a DPDT switch to the aux rev limiter of the Haltech. The other throw on the switch disengages the yaw sensor signal. Voila - launch control for an auto. With my Edge Racing TC, I think I'll be able to launch at 4k rpms, which is well into boost, if not peak boost. Basically, I hold the brake, flip the switch, put the accelerator to the floor, then release the brake when ready. I haven't tried it yet. Hopefully I won't break anything.

 

ya but why cant you foot brake it on your stall convertor?

the 2step is just letting you push the gas to the floor. You still cant rev higher than your stall convertor is set at...

 

Keep in mind that stall is a function of input torque. You are correct though that the TC limits what I can do. With my GT28s, I don't really think I'll have an issue building boost though. I could simulate this manually just as you could with the clutch pedal 2 step. It's just a matter of the aux rev limiter holding the rpms where they need to be so I don't move off the line prematurely.

 

Tell Hal or Greg to take another $100 off and I am in.....times are hard....

 

Figures, just when I wanted to stop spending money on the car. I'm considering, but this economy is starting to hurt my feelings

 

I doubt we'll get a better deal than this... List price is what $2200? I'm a 5AT and doing this just to help you 6MT guys out... Where's Alberto? That would make 6 with Mike and Chris.

EDIT: Str8dum1, get in on this too. That way I can come over to your place to get this installed the same time you do yours (u said 30 mins per axle, right? I'll offer you $100 for the install, and a beer, since you've got the tools )
