Crank it. Launch it. Own it:
Driveshaft Shop's 650hp Axle Set is the latest evolution of their proven Level 2.9 design—now built for even more abuse and brutal launches. If you're running a big turbo 1.8T or a built VR6 on a 6-speed manual, these are the axles that refuse to snap under pressure.
While the original version (V1) was rated to 500hp, the V2 upgrade now handles 650hp, making it one of the most robust factory-replacement-style setups available for the VW MK4 platform. That includes:
- ✅ 1999–2005 VW Golf & GTI (VR6 and 1.8T)
- ✅ 1999–2005 VW Jetta (VR6 and 1.8T)
- ✅ 1998–2010 VW Beetle (1.8T 6-speed)
Why you want RA2297X2-V2:
- ✅ 650hp+ proven capacity
- ✅ Fully bolt-in for factory 6-speed MK4 cars
- ✅ High-grade CVs, aerospace-quality shafts, precision inner/outer splines
- ✅ Streetable—but born for strip launches and high-grip punishment
These aren’t half-measures. The inner CVs are uprated. The shafts themselves are crafted for deflection resistance. The design is optimized for aggressive clutch drops, sticky tires, and everything that would make a stock axle implode in shame.
Built for more than just power. Built for trust. That’s why we also recommend:
USRT offers a complete lineup of matching upgrades to support your build, whether it’s race-ready or street-dominant.
Hook it. Send it. Win.
