"Superior Axle and Gear Evolution Series" Rear Axle Shafts

Superior Axle and Gear Evolution Series Rear Axle Kits
anyone have any comments on these axle shafts? GM no longer makes axle shafts for our cars and i dont really want to go to a junkyard so im considering these. They come with bearings, seals, and wheel studs. do the axles come with the wheel studs pressed in already? do they seem overpriced?

i already got the axles. for $235 i got wheel studs, bearings, and axle seals. plus superior axles are the hardest, most solid axles you can get (besides custom ones). moser is more for custom length applications than strength.

btw the studs dont come pressed in, but i already took care of that

I wasn't aware that those were stronger than Moser. I had always thought Moser had some of the strongest stuff out there.

superior isn't any stronger than moser. Good stuff, but not any stronger. The studs may not come pressed in, but they'll usually hammer in easy enough. You can also take a regular nut(correct thread) and a couple washers and pull them in. If you do this, just make sure you tighten a little then back-off(not all the way, just load) and tighten some more. If you just run them down they can strip...

- note: really hard axles break easier, if they're too hard, they'll be brittle and you'll snap them off. A good axle is hard, but not to hard because then they can torsion...
