After having a 6Speed in my car for over a year, and the matching R180 sitting on the shelf in my grage, i finaly got the parts i needed to Hybrid my axles to install it in my car...
The same parts that i had made will work to mate WRX / Legacy shafts to 05+ STi inner joints so you can install a R180 diff and keep your R160 hubs.

How was it made exactly? OEM parts like that are typically carburized, or heat treated and tempered to have a much harder surface finish yet still be ductile enough to have the necessary fatigue resistance.

I have no idea as i did not make them.
They were made at a constant velocity company. this is what they do. this is only one part of there company. they also make many parts for aerospace, the US gov, and Boeing.
I am assumeing they know what they are doing. he said these parts were high strength!
So is this more economical than buying spec-b axles? I also have a r180 sitting here...

Got them yesterday Dave, I did have to file a bit of axle to get the thing on but that only took about 3 min with a dremel.
