I wouldn't worry about either of those under 500rwhp. You are probably looking at 400-600 parts and labor for the ends. That's just an educated guess though. A chassis shop will be your best bet. They would have to have a jig for it.

Your rotors will and caliber will keep the axle from walking out. I haven't heard of folks running disc brakes and c-clip eliminators. If it was me I'd simply order a set of us alloy or yukon axles and bet the piss out of them. They are supposed to be like 35% stronger and come with at least a 2 year warrenty. I have just recently up graded my axles the stockers saw a couple of 10's second passes.

Safety regulations requires the elimination of C-clips for cars running 10.99 or faster.

I would recommend something such as this > http://www.moserengineering.com/Page...usingends.html <

Part #7700

It is the the small bearing 9" axle housing ends.

Or something similiar from some of the other vendors such as Strange Engineering etc.

The C-Clip eliminators that I have seen all tend to leak if you do a lot of street driving....... YMMV

Oh, I didn't imply that you wouldn't be able to race at any particular event; I was just stating the SFI regulation.

We all know how extremely laxed FFW tech is.

As mentioned before, your disk brakes will hold the axles in. No need to spend the extra money at the level you're at right now.

As for the C clip Elim and 9" Housing ends.....To do it properly costs a good bit.
