IMO, the 15+ WRX is terrible for track or even just fun driving. Engine response, clutch feel, shifter...and the brakes are beyond useless. I bought one new and could not wait to get rid of it. ...

My point is, as you know, simply that they are inadequate if they have trouble surviving stock power levels (in this very light car). But thanks for the correction on hp vs tq. I will drop a line to...

Honestly, the stock ones should be. Fairly easy and cheap to replace, but a little disappointing nonetheless given stock power level, ride height, and street tires.

Aren't those axles like 1200 bucks? And good for 800 hp? My car is stock. An axle rated at 300 hp would still be double what my car makes.

No, installed per instructions. I'm already not crazy about the eccentric so I'm choosing not to use the undersized bolt trick and I'm already out of clearance inboard anyway.
