Buying cheap axles means you are getting reground axles that may not last very long.

Has anyone tried www.raxles.com for S2000 axles? I bought both axles for my 2000 accord from there and they were better than new.
I've purchased from raxle.com in the past (not for the S2000) and they were great. They also paid for shipping the core I believe.

Cheap? got lifetime at autozone.
i did the same before I bought from Raxles. I initially got a 'lifetime warrantied' axle that was rebuilt short (more than an inch). Then I had both axles fail after 6 months of use on my daily driver Accord. I now equate reground axles as junk parts (the stock axles had lasted me 7 years). I bought from Raxles because I was sick of installing axles when I could have been doing something else with my time.

Speaking from experience now. My right side axle began clicking (a ton). I ordered a replacement from Raxles and was not disappointed. The axle looked better than new, fit like a glove and eliminated my problem immediately.

Fairly easy axle to put in (use a pitman arm puller for the ball joint). One hour job, including getting all the tools out and jacking up the car.

Neighborhood of $200 for the price (one axle).
