E46 Axle and Stub Upgrade
Included:
- BMW M3 & Winters QC: Billet outer stubs with axles designed for factory inner stubs.
- Ford 8.8: Billet outer stubs, axles, and matching billet 31-spline inner 8.8 stubs.
The SLG/Gforce Axle Kits are unmatched in the market, offering exceptional strength and performance. These kits serve as a direct replacement for factory M3 or Quickchange differential stubs or can be configured for a 31-spline Ford 8.8 differential. Designed to handle everything from street abuse to professional drifting, they perform flawlessly under extreme conditions.
The axles feature an upgraded 31-spline axle bar made from Gforce’s proprietary alloy, paired with billet-machined CV joints. The increased spline count enhances engagement, while the larger diameter axle bars deliver unprecedented strength.
The billet-machined CV joints offer more travel and a greater operating angle than OEM CV joints, significantly improving wear resistance and durability. Machined from a single piece of billet, the stubs are the strongest available. All kits come with ABS trigger wheels for full factory functionality. Depending on ride height, notching the upper arms may be necessary for fastener clearance.
In addition to superior strength, these axles feature anti-wheel hop technology, originally pioneered by GM. This greatly reduces wheel hop during hard launches, making them ideal for high-performance applications.
Hand-built in the USA with premium materials, Gforce takes great care in every step of production. With these quality measures, we trust these axles for life. In fact, we're still running the original prototypes on our own cars!

Outlaw Upgrade: For those seeking even more performance, the Outlaw upgrade features an enhanced CV and components while maintaining the 108mm design. The upgraded alloy in the billet-machined internals, combined with an isotropic surface finish, provides a smoother operation, reduced heat, and minimized wear. Premium ARP fasteners are used for the industry's strongest CV axle bolts.
Exotic Stub Upgrade: Gforce's Exotic Stub upgrade uses an alloy even stronger than the standard 300M material. These stubs are engineered to withstand extreme shock loads during launches and resist damage caused by wheel hop, ensuring you can execute the most aggressive launches without worrying about failure.
