Default Half shafts replacement which is best?

I heard that the 06-07 half shafts are ****. And I was looking into a 2009+ z06 half shafts they use it in the zr1s also I see them as being the strongest are the 08s fine as well? And what about c5 z06.
Thanks couldn't find a forum that would answer this!

I bought C5 axles on eBay for around $100 to replace the stock axles on my 07Z.

You can not use the half shaft from a 2009-2013 unless you have those years. The outer bearing spline in the back is 33 spline the 2006-2008 are 30 spline. The bearings are not interchangeable either. You can either do the C5 or the newer version C6 for your year car as they have updated those.

Yes, I'm at 750whp on drag radials. They're pretty solid and much cheaper than any other options.

I don't track it much, but I have seen others with more power than me using them for hard launches. For the price, you can't go wrong.
