I use stub axles from http://www.precisionalloy.com/ They start with stock stub axles cut the type 1 CV bell off and weld a 930 CV bell in it's place. The original German axles are made out of really good material, better than what you'll find in any aftermarket stub axle. They are done right and at a reasonable price.

Thanks Mike, I value your opinion. As they don't have a price on thier site, and as it'll cost me £££ to call them from the UK do you know the approximate cost?

I will tell you to stay away from EMPI as they are junk. I have bent one and snapped two. I am sure the weight and HP of my car did not help however just sayin!
