Default Hardened output shafts ?

Who does it and where, how much ? What is the procedure ...

The output shafts I am reffering to, are inside the diff -- which normally snaps, on heavy launches.

He's perfectly trustworthy :D

You might do an archive search of this forum, there was also a recent thread in the Drag Racing forum maybe a month or two back. Plus all the WCC/CoH threads.

Mike Norris is getting the ones for my car from Breathless. While it is more common with M6 cars than A4, it seemed like a worthwhile investment given the power I should be putting out.
