Or does anyone know every to get an affordable set of OEMs to do the hybrids subaru is very proud of the parts its like $460 each for the baja cvs and like $560 for STI cvs .. so will cost over $2020 of i buy all new oem ugg... and aftermarket cvs won't work with suber Dave's parts

Will either of these work? They're not OEM but are replacements.

The TRQ ones are slightly beefier than OEM if it matters, but I don't know exact dimensions.

The difference between the Turbo and NA baja axles should only be the inner CV joint flange. That's the part you discard when building the hybrid axles, no?

If it were me, I'd attempt to rebuild the toasted axles with new parts (the cage, ball bearings, circlip, etc). Failing that, I'd order used ebay oem parts (substituting Turbo for N/A axles if needed). I've been using original 2004 STI axles on my RSTI for years now with good success, though I replaced the boots and regreased em before putting them on the car.

As mentioned, you can rebuild them and mix/match parts as needed, but for that price, you might as well get some 500hp axles built by the Driveshaft Shop. They will build whatever you need, and you should never have to replace them again. If they wear out, just get stock CV parts and rebuild them.. They use ultra hardened shafts, so they wont/shouldn't break during race/off road applications.

Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Possibly.
