What shafts are people using? Has anyone used the tegiwa k swap shafts?
 
I used DC5 shafts with circuitworx hubs, can't beat oem quality.
 
Do not use tegiwia shafts Two people on here have used them and they are short I think. I would buy the dss 2.9's that are for sale and sort out the cv joints. Cheap and strong.
 
Cesare can you use ep3 shafts with those hubs? And where did you get them from?
 
I use R-motions ones that they make, they have been perfect!
 
I can't seem to find any of those circuitworxs hubs for sale I don't think they are in production anymore. I think I will be going for R Motions
 
Mine are made up with all OEM parts mate just k inners and b outers, never had a problem!
 
Yes R motion make their own shafts. I have bought karcepts 36mm hubs and i'm going to be using DC5 shafts when i get hold of a pair for a reasonable price
 
Bit of an old thread but my question fits into here, better than making a new thread..

I have read that I can use base integra dc5 axles (because they're 32mm) on my ek4 because they are also 32mm hubs. However the only thing I have to 'switch' are the inner joints. Now, what do they mean by 'switch', am I just switching the drivers side and passenger side inner joints around? Information found here

These are type r axles but just to use this picture as a reference, what must I do with them to make them fit on a kswap civic?

(The inner joints are on the left of this picture, correct?)

Thanks in advance
 
im pretty sure you have to swap the outer joints , not the inner

Yeah I think, if you are using k series axles then you would swap the outer joints to fit onto the civic. And vice versa ..
Anyways, found a cheap shipping route so I'll be getting axles from ktuned. Does anyone know if the intermediate shaft is included with the axles from ktuned/hybrid racing ?

No mate half shaft won't come with them.
 
What I have on my DC2 is EP3 shafts with the inner cups swapped around (really easy), and then some 32mm (DC2/EK/EG) outer CVs. No issues or vibes at all.
