    I don't get it. It sounds like people are saying the 913's are better than the 912's. Looks to me that they are simply different.


    And great write BTW.

    I think prior to this write up there wasn't any true comparisons done to this extent. I imagine the better "choice" depends on your personal needs. I'm more interested in not destroying my cv's and I am not skilled enough to flip ball joints, repack boots, etc. And I don't trust just anyone to work on my ride since no mechanics I met have even heard of a vx.
    I just like the looks of the lifted vx's.

    I think you would be surprised at your skills if you were to tackle lifting your rig. I have had no issues with my CV's since lifting mine. It's more time consuming than hard to do and with the 913's, it won't be as dramatic as with the 912's.

    The slight difference between the two will not decrease the ratio of being prone to torn cv's that much. If you worry about torn CV just get your brakets dropped.
