    The stock axles (we don't have a driveshaft ) hold up very well. I would not worry about them till your making 400WHP+ on a road coarse or 500WHP+ on 1/4 mile strip.

    The Scion tC's aren't Posi-traction. One option you have if you have a 5-speed/6-speed manual transmission is buy the TRD LSD (Limited Slip-Differential). Another option would be to upgrade your OEM motor/tranny mounts w/ a urethane mount/bushing from Energy Suspension, I did mine a few months ago and I love em! The only down side is slight vibration in the steering wheel, on the up-side, you'll have better traction/grip and less wheel hop. Another option is to buy a torque damper from Weapon-R or Ingalls.

    I am not sure if there is an LSD diff for the new 6-speed. It is an entirely new trans and not sure what other cars it might be used in. Our E350 5-speed trans has the Quaife built/TRD badged helical LSD. At one point, one of the Scion racing teams was supposedly working with OS Giken to build a Super-Lok clutch type LSD but they must have been looking at using a different trans as there is no mention of any product for Scion on the OS Giken website.

    Don't sweat it and save your dough. You will need to be making some serious torque and punish it on a race track to worry about the failure of an OEM axle. In that situation, I would be worried more about the OEM wheel studs.
