Only on the internet could a man spend a lot of time and effort doing a high quality job only to have everyone rip him a new hole for not having the same exact taste as everyone else.

wow! hadn't seen those axels side by side, huge difference. spence claims those axels can handle more stress than the celica supra ones. i believe him. definitely not the cheapest way to go, but maybe the best. i wonder what the weight difference is with a rearend with these axels on it compared to the supra one? also, taking into acount you might be running wheel spacers with the stock housing.

i have thought about getting these axels before i start making more power. though, the fact that parts are cheaper for the celica supra diff, makes it a difficult decision.
