Default R180 bearing cage failure

Hey all

Having issues with the bearing cage on my r180 rear inner cv breaking

I have currently 285 hp and 378nm and have vipec launch control set at 5k building 15psi .. However due to smashing the shafts before i generally dont let it build that high anymore

Bascily i can get 4-5 launches per cv before they let go and have to limp home in fwd


My rear end is a 06 spec c 3;54 r180 diff, 04 r180 rear axels, 04 sti rear hubs with a exeedy hd organic 6spd clutch

My control arms are whiteline adjustable Ones i first thought my issue was these are at 04 sti length to match my front track and the gc8 r180 inner cv died

I put in down to a miss match in track width so got the gd axels. However after 4 launches same issue has anyone else killed a few r180s like this?

Im realistic i no that it puts alot of load and shock on the driveline but surely it can handle more than this

Love to hear tour thoughts/ suggestions of what i can look for

I really wanna be able to launch its half the fun if having an awd
