Hey there, fellow VW enthusiast! If you're looking to beef up your ride with some serious axle upgrades, let me tell you about the Driveshaft Shop Level 2.9 Axle for your VR6-powered Volkswagen. This bad boy is designed for the 5-speed models of the Golf, GTI, Jetta, and Corrado from '93 to '98. Trust me, if you’re pushing close to 400HP, you’re going to want something that can handle the torque without breaking a sweat.
So, what’s the deal with these axles? Well, they come equipped with a chromoly cross groove 100mm inner CV joint. What does that mean for you? It means better strength and durability. The standard inner CV has a hefty internal spline (1.125 inches), but the outer CV usually has a smaller diameter spline. Driveshaft Shop has flipped the script here. They’ve crafted a custom bar and CV races that balance out the sizes, making it a lot more torsional. This design tweak gives you an edge over other axles out there.
Plus, the outer CV joint has been upgraded too. It now features a thicker cage and race that's 50% stronger than what you’d find in earlier models. You can count on this thing to take a beating and keep on going. And the best part? It’s a direct bolt-in unit, so you won’t need to wrestle with modifications to get it set up. Just pop it in and you're good to go!
Worried about quality? Don’t be. These axles come with a one-year warranty, so you can hit the road with confidence. Just remember, not all aftermarket axles are created equal. Don’t fall for the cheap knock-offs; they just can’t compete with the Level 2.9’s performance.
Fitment:
So, if you're ready to take your VW to the next level, these axles might just be the upgrade you need. Your ride deserves the best, and with the Driveshaft Shop Level 2.9 Axle, you’re getting just that.

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 beganFor 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 ProductThe 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 ImprovementThe 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 NeedThe 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."
