I think the Stage 2 comment was sarcasm
I have DSS Stage 0 in my civic currently with no problems, but a K-swap is a lot lot harder on axles than most because of the terrible angle that it puts them at. I am well over what they are rated at, but I havent tried slicks and launching on them yet either. In your application I would just rock some Advance or Autozone axles (new not refurbished) that have the lifetime warranty on them. The Stage 0 DSS axles have no warranty on them at all that I'm aware of, and the stronger models would be cost prohibitive in your case. With a mostly stock swap there would be no benefit to having $1000+ axles. The stronger DSS axles still only carry a 1 year warranty anyways, but I'm going to go to a set of 3.9's when the ones I have now break, since they are rated to 600whp and upgrade the hubs to 36mm units that are made from a much stronger material.
