The passenger side axle for a dc2 fits all
Trims right? Their site says that isn’t so


But if I order a passenger axle that fits an LS it will also fit an ITR right??
I think as long as you still have 32mm hubs they use the same axles. If you have a the 36mm 5 lug, I think it might be different.

Someone correct me if I am wrong

If we are speaking USDM, all hubs are 32mm and the axle lengths are the same IIRC. The biggest difference will be a lack of ABS rings in the earlier DC4 RS's. I'm 95% confident, Raxles/etc. will know 100% as this is their primary business.

x2 on Raxles knowing about the ABS rings, this was one of the first things I asked Marty back in 2013 when I needed to get a passenger side on my car

Ok I will hold out for Raxles.

She is sitting on jack stands in the garage staring and me every time I go in wondering when I can finally go drive this thing!

Guess another month wont move the needle either way.

Have another car I wanted to get started on but my workspace is setup for only one car to be worked on at a time. that one will just have to wait a bit

Anyone have opinions on Insane Shafts?

It's what I run in my NSX, per Shad Huntley's suggestion after my OEMs ran dry and caught fire... I've tracked them a few times and they're holding strong 40k miles or so later.
