I think it has more to do with the axle design, diff position, and angle. as in... the suspension geometry at the time NOT the power. I broke mine in turn with ~25% throttle... I hit a dip when it broke, mind you this was a very small dip but it was a dip in the road. All of this power of mine and i break it at low throttle in a turn? hhmm... Sounds like something else to me :P Sure I could have weakened them with the power but all of the other people have no where near what I am putting down and they snap them from drifting etc.
At least the fix wasn't too much more than OEM replacements. Its sad it cost so much to do. Hopefully someone like DSS will make a simple CV replacement setup that has a higher performance rating.
