Default Axle Options for C5Z

Hello, I tried searching the forums, but didn't find any C5 direct information, if it's out there please point me in the right direction.

The Question:
What 33 spline axles (C6, ZR1 etc) are compatible with the C5?
I'm looking to convert to the xtracker 33 spline hub and work on having a MK60 ABS system. My concern is finding the right axles to work without having to change anything else but the hubs.

GForce makes axles to suit but has openly mentioned concern with their boots and viking and penske coil overs interfering/rubbing. So I'm trying to go the OEM route.

Thanks for you input.

I doubt that you will find anything out there short of something custom. Call Frank and the crew at the Drive Shaft Shop and I am sure that they can fix you up with exactly what you need.

Thank you, but GForce does have something off the shelf that "might work" rather than going full custom.

I also personally have the ability to manufacture the splines and mating parts myself, but I'm trying to figure out what exactly is interchangeable between generations.

In an ideal world (which I'm trying to connect with SKF) I'm trying to get a 30 tooth spline into the ZR1 hub as it's less parts changed.
