Does anyone make upgraded CV cages for your platform? DSS makes axles for my MR2, but they're rarely needed, the OEM units are so strong. The most popular upgrade for my platform is a set of thicker CV cages with matching bearings. They've proven highly effective for 500whp cars on slicks. As long as your splines and the rest of the axle can handle it, it may be an upgrade worth looking into.
