Default Axles. Which ones?

So Im pretty sure im going to have to replace the drivers side axle on my 2000 hatch. It has a b18b1 in it. What im wondering, as Ive never bought axles, is whether I should buy the Hasport B series swap axles for my civic or if I should just get Integra LS axles at Napa or something?

If the LS axles from NAPA are the right ones to fit, get those. Auto parts store axles are just fine.

Being as the motor is out of an LS, Im assuming those would be the correct axels. Someone correct me if Im wrong.

According to this, it's LS axles.

Anyone had any issues with parts store axles not taking well to drops? Im about 2 inches I would say. I dont want to get something that Ill be hitting up for warranties every couple months.

All the axles are going to be just as good as each other as far as lowering is concerned. The problem with lowering is that it puts the passenger side axle at an angle in which the boot rubs itself sometimes or all the time (depending on your ride height) and it's only a matter of time before the boot rips.

I would grease the outside of the boot to help prevent this from happening.
