Driveshaft Shop's X4 line is built from 300M with their best heat treat processes, rated to handle 700 to 1000 wheel horsepower depending on application, and it's a direct bolt-in. If you've outgrown budget axles but don't need a full hub kit, this is the tier that stops axles being the weak link.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e300M Is Why It Holds\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is the reason for the rating, and it's a genuinely different tier from what ordinary axles use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e300M is a high-strength alloy used where failure isn't an acceptable outcome. Combined with Driveshaft Shop's heat treat processes, it's what lets these handle the torque and shock loading that destroys lesser axles on a hard launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAxles typically fail in torsion rather than bending, so material strength through the bar is what determines whether one survives a sticky tire and a built engine. That's where the 700 to 1000 wheel horsepower range comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilt For Cars That Do Both\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth understanding the positioning, because it's specific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDriveshaft Shop engineered the X4 line for fast street cars that visit the track for drag, road course, and autocross duty. That's a demanding category, since the axle sees daily driving loads, launch shock, and sustained cornering load all in the same week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a DC5 Type-S that's a common profile. These cars get driven, get tracked, and get built, and the X4 is sized for exactly that life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere This Sits In The Range\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree tiers, and the choice comes down to power and whether you need hubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLevel 0\u003c\/strong\u003e is stock replacement and basic swaps.

That's for the hardcore racer at 900 to 1000 wheel horsepower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost people building a quick DC5 land here, and it's usually the right answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDirect Bolt-In\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo hub change, no modification, no adapting anything. These go in where your factory axles came out, which keeps the job straightforward and keeps the cost to axles rather than an entire package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePreviously RA4008X4 \/ RA4009X4\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth noting if you're cross-referencing. Driveshaft Shop renumbered these, so the old RA4008X4 and RA4009X4 part numbers refer to this same product. If you've seen them listed that way elsewhere, you're looking at the same axles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNon-Refundable After Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth stating clearly. Once installed these can't be returned, which is standard for driveline components at this level.

You're checking that the inner joint isn't bottoming out at compression or over-extending at droop, and that everything clears through the steering range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a lowered car this matters more than it would on stock height, since the axle is working through angles Honda didn't plan for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2002-2006 Acura RSX Type-S (DC5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart number 510397 \/ 510189, previously RA4008X4 \/ RA4009X4.
