high hp and axles?
i have a 93 Civic Si (for a project) with the stock d series sohc vtec motor in it. the only mod ive done so far is a vtec controller. i set it so vtec is turning on at 1500rpm. now with all this extra vtec should i upgrade to stronger axles? i dont want to risk breaking them when i launch at 6000rpm from the stop lights in town. help me out guys

all 4 lug hubs have an extra spot for a 5th lug. get some 5th lug rotors, and buy a new stem.

be nice people.
your civic si with d16z6 makes all of 100tq on a good day. Realistically more like 90-95ft-lbs...
you do not need stronger axles...
