Shad @ Comptech told me last week that he thought that Kaaz was coming out with one soon...but he led me to believe he was sure it wasn't out now.

Looked at site, just says "soon"; emailing them.

The spoon axles aren't actually anything, IMHO. All they do is take your axle and "balance" it, evidently by shaving it down where needed. The distributor I spoke with said this help to evenly distribute force throughout the shaft, but it was around $400-$500 for the balancing, not sure it's even worth it.

I was expecting that it would be something along those lines too, something to make it stronger was what I was looking for. The distributor explained it as I mentioned, so I decided against it. If Kaaz comes out with theirs I will probably upgrade.

I would hope for that price the service is more than a simple balance. More along the lines of preparing a stock engine part for competition. Maybe a magnaflux crack inspection, machining to remove stress points (deburring, edge radiasing, polishing) with the balance and probably shotpeenning.
