Driveshaft Shop X4 Direct Fit Axles for Honda/Acura

When it comes to pushing the limits of your Honda or Acura, the Driveshaft Shop X4 Direct Fit Axles (part number 510083) are engineered to handle the power and performance demands of today’s high-output street cars. With over 30 years of experience in crafting innovative drivetrain solutions, Driveshaft Shop has established itself as a leader in the industry, helping racers set and reset world records along the way. These axles are designed for enthusiasts who value performance and reliability.

Performance and Durability

The X4 axles are built to withstand the rigors of both forced induction and naturally aspirated setups, tested to handle over 700+ horsepower. This is crucial for those of you pushing your 2001-2005 Honda Civic Si EP or 2002-2006 Acura RSX to the limit. The design features a proprietary two-piece Chromoly outer CV housing, complemented by a 300M splined wheel stub, axle bars, and a differential spline plug. The switch to a ball and cage style inner CV, as opposed to the OEM tripod design, significantly boosts durability—ideal for those weekend track days or spirited drives around town.

Who Is The Driveshaft Shop? | Driveshaft, Axles, Upgrade Kits

What is the use of a 1000-horsepower vehicle if you cannot effectively transfer it to the wheels? HP is not the only thing professional builders look at when upgrading a vehicle's performance. Each component plays a critical role in making a car go fast, and the driveshaft is one of them.

The driveshaft is responsible for transferring your engine's power to the differential to your wheels. It is the reason why when you upgrade your engine, it is best if you also upgrade this component. And when it comes to the driveshaft, one name stands out, and that is The Driveshaft Shop.

How It All began

For more than 40 years, The Driveshaft Shop (DSS) has designed and produced many driveshafts used in numerous record-setting race cars. It is the leader in high-quality aftermarket axles and driveshafts for high-power automotive racing applications. The Driveshaft Shop has a driveline solution for your modified vehicle from drag racing to drifting and offers high-performance one-piece driveshafts and heavy-duty axle shafts for several late-model performance applications.

Not Your Typical Off-The-Shelf Product

The Driveshaft Shop doesn't just build driveshafts using off-the-shelf products. It's a full-on CNC machine shop that manufactures all its components in-house. It allows them to control how they manufacture their products and helps the company keep their high standard in place.

Continuous Improvement

The Driveshaft Shop continues to grow and research daily and strives to keep up with the ever-changing automotive industry. It is dedicated to producing racing driveshafts regardless of the many challenges involved.

It is because modern-day engines have much higher horsepower, torque, and RPM figures with more complicated suspension systems and better transmissions. In short, a good manufacturer needs to know a lot more today to produce the perfect quality driveshaft, and DSS is capable of and does just that!

Why Choose The Driveshaft Shop?

The company offers driveshafts in aluminum, steel, Chromoly, and now carbon fiber so that they can design a solution for your individual needs and preference. Every axle and driveshaft built by The Driveshaft Shop uses only the finest materials and latest manufacturing techniques as they become available.

Moreover, each driveshaft produced by The Driveshaft Shop is dynamically balanced at over 9000 RPMs to ensure unmatched quality and reliability. Its direct-fit IRS axles are rated up to 1400 horsepower for extra strength when added to drag racing and supercharger applications.

A Driveshaft For Your Every Need

The brand offers a range of products for Audi, Honda, BMW, Acura, Nissan, Porsche, Chevrolet, Dodge, Chrysler, Volkswagen, and many others. If you need a "not immediately available" part, the Driveshaft Shop will custom make one for you. The brand doesn't play around when it says, "We Specialize In The Impossible."
