Default About to upgrade my axles

Ok I am looking to upgrade my rear, bought auburn 31 diff., 3.73 gear, and am about to buy some 31 spline axles with c clip eliminators. I want to put it all in at the same time... I am just lacking the axles and gear installation kit

I came across this kit...
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

and was wondering what you guys think. I need to call to get the axle lengths, but I think its a good deal. there is a vendor on corral that sells it for $358 shipped so I will get it from him.

Just wanted to get some feedback before I spend that $$

I would stay away from Strange unless yo are getting their race axles. I have seen to many of their street axles brake at the track. A friend of mine has a 99' GT and bought theStrange axles and c-clip eliminators and brokethe axle flange off on the starting line on the first pass with a 12.50 car. When he called Strange they told him tough luck we don't warranty any street axles, do you want to buy another one?Call Moser or Masterline (Mark Williams) and get some.

Ok so you're aware that you have to cut the ends of the axle tubes then correct?
