they are thicker yes

and the cv's are bigger too

4x4= 100m flanges and approx M8 bolts, 2wd= 108mm flanges and big fuck off bolts , and thicker shafts, should be good for approaching 500BHP ( if you are not an animal with the car)

not really, mechanical sympathy goes a long way to keeping a car in one peice, I bet you could kill anything fairly quickly driving like a pleb
