Thanks
The standard dog bones/driveshafts will do, but adding an o-ring into th drive cup at the steering knuckle I'll stop the dog one from falling out. Just be sure it doesn't cause the suspension to bind up. This can happen if you have an o-ring at both ends.

Thanks
FF02/TL01 axles will work. Since you're going rwd, you won't even really need CVDs. So even kit standard dog ones from a cc01 will fit.
