I have not tried the Empi Stub Axles but I did have the Empi Axles and I broke both of them. I am on a mission to replace all of my Empi parts. Most of them have broken and I always try to replace them with something stronger.

EMPI Stub Axels SUCK! Did I say SUCK! :x I have bent 2 of them and have broke 2 off at the flange. I now run Averys as they are made from stock OEM t-1 stubs.

BTW The Averys are cheaper than the EMPIs and with cores 40 more bucks cheaper.
