Default CV Axles

Yea I have a set of KYB AGX's with Tein S.Tech springs (1.8f, 1.8r) and was wodering with this kinda drop, would I have to worry about my cv axles being worn out too fast because of the change of direction they come out the transmission? I was told they wear out a whole lot fast because they're being angled in bent way. Would adding a Ingalls front camber kit do anynthing to solve this? I'm not too much of an expert on this type of problem, so any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

You are only changing their angle a few degrees. It makes no significant difference.

Yeah, lowering the car that little shouldn't hurt the CVs at all. Mine seem to be fine after having mine lowered for about 5 months now. No problems yet.

The Universal Joints in the CVs are made to turn every which way. Changing the angle that they sit from the factory by a few degrees won't hurt anything.

The thing that tears up CV joints is wheels with too high of an offset...
