PRODUCT DETAILS
Driveshaft Shop AWD Conversion Axle Set - Honda Civic & Acura Integra (510077)
AWD-converted Hondas have historically meant custom-length axles and a wait. Driveshaft Shop built these as custom pieces for years with zero failures before releasing them as a production part, which is about as good an endorsement as a driveline component gets. Rated at 700 horsepower, built from 300M throughout, and a direct fit for the center mounted differential setups most conversions use.
What This Is Designed Around
Specific requirements, so confirm your setup before ordering.
These are built for the 1988-1991 Honda Wagon, Beagle, or Shuttle 25-spline rear differential paired with 23-spline outers and hubs, which is the combination most AWD Honda conversions are built on.
They're also a direct fit for the popular center mounted differential mount kits. If that's your configuration, these bolt in.
Running Something Different? They Can Be Made To Suit
Worth knowing, because AWD conversions vary enormously and no two are quite alike.
Driveshaft Shop can produce these in custom lengths for any mounting configuration, and with any wheel hub spline fitment. So if your differential sits somewhere other than center, or you're running hubs outside the usual 23-spline, that's a conversation rather than a dead end.
That flexibility is the reason these existed as custom pieces long before they became a catalog part. Get in touch with your specifications if the standard configuration doesn't match your build.
Zero Failures Before They Were A Product
This is the part worth paying attention to.
Driveshaft Shop made these to order for years before putting them into production, and their stated record across that period is zero failures. That's an unusual claim on a component seeing this kind of load, and it's the reason the design went from custom work to a catalog item rather than the other way around.
On an AWD Honda putting power through all four corners, axles are working harder than they ever did in front-wheel drive. Knowing a design already survived years of hard use before you bought it is worth something.
300M Throughout
The construction is why the rating holds.
The axle bars and splined differential stub are 300M, a high-strength alloy used where failure isn't an acceptable outcome. The outer CV uses Driveshaft Shop's proven two-piece 300M design, and the inner CV housing is chromoly.
Axles fail in torsion rather than bending, so material strength through the bar determines survival. That's what puts these at a 700 horsepower rating on a conversion that asks a lot of every driveline component.
Sorting The Differential Too?
Worth thinking about, since these axles are only as useful as what's feeding them.
An AWD conversion still has an open differential up front unless you've changed it, which means torque going to whichever wheel has least grip. On a car making enough power to justify these axles, that's a real limitation.
The SpeedFactory Wavetrac AWD limited slip differential is built for exactly this conversion, and it fits your existing FWD B-series axle sets without modification. If you're already deep into an AWD build, it's the piece that makes the traction match the power.
Non-Refundable After Installation
Worth stating clearly. Once installed these can't be returned, which is standard for driveline components at this level.
Confirm your differential, hubs, and mount configuration before ordering rather than after. If anything about your build differs from the standard setup, ask first and have them made to suit.
Check Your Range Of Motion After Install
More important on an AWD conversion than almost any other application.
Once fitted, cycle the suspension through full travel and turn to full lock both directions. 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.
An AWD-converted Honda is a chassis doing something Honda never designed it to do, so nothing about the geometry can be assumed. Verify it properly before you drive.
Fitment
1988-2000 Honda Civic
1994-2001 Acura Integra
AWD converted, using the 88-91 Wagon, Beagle, or Shuttle 25-spline rear differential with 23-spline outers and hubs. Part number 510077. Sold as a pair.
Direct fit for center mounted differential kits. Custom lengths and spline fitments available on request.
Who Should Run These
This is for the builder who's put an AWD conversion into a Honda and needs axles that will survive it. Serious power through all four wheels, a chassis doing something unusual, and a component that has to work because sourcing a replacement mid-build is miserable. Proven design, 300M construction, and available in custom lengths if your setup doesn't match the standard. Confirm your differential and hubs, and check your travel before you drive it.
