Default h23 into civic problems

ive finally decided to swap my civic with my h23 motor but need some help on axles and other problems i will face. A friend who had the swap told me that for the best ride one gsr axle and one ls axle should be used but he doesnt remember which one goes to which side. does anybody know if this is true. does anybody out there have or know anybody with this swap. thanks

in my experience putting together axles for a prelude swap into a civic they break VERY easily. i would recomend getting driveshaft shop to make you some or even order them from hasport. you can order stage ones wich is cheaper then stage 2 but they dont warrenty stage 1 axles they are just replacments. stage 2 have a warrenty but you would have to talk to them to find out the exact extent of the warrentys. hope that helps.

If you aren't trying to pay much now, you'll end up paying more later because you'll break axles like nobody's business. Pay a little more now for driveshaft axles if you really are going to do the swap and save yourself the hassle ahead of time.
