I have a '96 LS and when I bought it it had already been lowered with Tenzo R springs. Then one day as I was leaving a parking lot all i heard was a cling when i took off...the bastard wouldnt move. I took it to a local mechanic and he said the joint was blown to shit and he said i would keep blowin them out because the angle of the joint is wrong and is stressing it, he said the only way to fix it is to put on stock springs and i said hell no..Does anybody know of a joint that will compensate for the springs???? HELP!

 

Umm... never heard of lowering blowing out CV joints, unless you're lowered more than 2 inches... then you might run into trouble with that...

 

Lowering can actually put some stress on your axles and joints. The way around it is to support it. Don't just lower your w/springs, add adjustable struts that support lowered vehicles and add a camber kit to keeps your wheels from flexing inward and adding stress to your cv joints. My 99 GSR has been lowered since it had 22k on it. It's now at 76k. I did it right and it had ridden well since and I have not had a problem.

 

I agree, camber kit would be needed if you have lowered much at all
