OTT Stage 1 axles is definitely a great deal for the cost and the quality, plus OTT is a great vendor, always great customer service. PM them for more information on the axles

if you go to a auto parts store and order axels for your SC, you may just get the cheap axels. Id recommend getting some gmpp axles or ottp so you wont snap them as easy.

ok, i know your new and you have some issues so lets start with where or who did you buy your car from and what did they tell you what was done with the car.

Your car if it is "stock" like you said it was in your other thread and you have the dss axles in, someone obviously had the car modded before you bought it and was making some power bc the dss2 axles are bought bc you either snapped your oem axles or your dragging your car.

^ did you snap your current axles? if your car is completely stock then your axles should be fine... unless you're planning on upgrading significantly (TVS, Turbo, etc.) and then tracking your car. You asked if better axles give you better launches... well if you're just looking for better launches I would say buy some trans mounts and/or an engine mount (depending on what type of trans mounts you get)... OTT and TTR have some pretty good sets you should look into...

If you know its the axle causing the problem then just upgrade to the stg1 like supercharged guy said for better launches def. go with ottp rotated mounts stg1 for no vibs almost no wheel hop, stg 2 for some vibs at low rpm and no wheel hop.

^^ I agree. If you want almost no vibs at all and no wheel hop: OTT Stage 1 Axles + OTT Stage 1 Rotated Mounts = WIN, but if you're like some who like a little vibs for a stiffer ride then you could consider: OTT Stage 1 Axles + TTR STOP Trans Mounts (they use poly), either way you go is great and will make a noticeable difference that you will feel 24/7 good luck man
