Granted we're drifting and some of us are pretty low, but just to give you an idea.
I planned on eventually upgrading as used axles are like $200 each and brand new one from Toyota/Subaru is like $400. Might as well just bite the bullet and spend the $900 on DSS ones and not worry about it again imo.

The DSS axles will also blow if ran too low as well. It's not so much a matter of materials or WHP rating, its a matter of design. Running very low (more than -1.2 ish) stresses the cage inside the CV outside of its' operating parameters. That's also why people have reported popping DSS rated axles on this car. Adding diff risers is the only thing that's effectively worked consistently for anyone with a car running very low. Parts Shop Max makes and installs these out of San Diego. I'm sure there is a local shop near anyone that could also install them given PSM's great DIY for it.
