They're definitely breaking so I'd be careful with it at that height especially if you're drifting. I was drifting mine a lot and yeah, mine was pretty low. Check my build thread.

I know we will get haters and probably a lot of them. I love stanced cars and it's all personal tastes of how you like the car to look aesthetically. People should respect everyone's personal preferences and simply offer advice if they feel they can offer something positive.

I love the look to...

But unfortunately it seems on this sorry to say "cheap" car they cut corners somewhere. This may be why it comes with such gripless tires to keep this from happening

It's not cutting corners, they just didn't design the components to withstand the car being dropped to 1" from the ground and driven hard.

You are not extending the travel of the suspension. I doubt that is it.

Driving hard is the sad part... A sport car made for being parked haha

This.

I was thinking ... Are the drivetrain shop parts just upgraded axles or did they replace the ends that bolt up to the half shafts?

A couple of pounds of additional wheel/tire weight will not break your axles. The combination of hard use (drifting) and extreme axle angle might.

Actually, it is extending the travel... the stock shocks only have about 2.5" of bump travel from stock resting height, all the coilovers that claim they can go super low have much shorter starting lengths and let the suspension travel way further upwards than it could ever possibly go with stock shocks.

What is the ride height measure from the pinch weld jacking points to the ground?

im pretty sure this car was meant to be driven hard, looking at the past predecessor and knowing that it'll be used for drifting also, is a big hint that these cars are meant for track and drifting. I mean 1990 cars today are still holding up to so much abuse, why shouldn't this?

I just wish all the 86 drifters come together and see how many axles they've replace after drifting or if they haven't at all. I'm not talking bout 1 little corner drifting in streets, i mean actual drifting holding a drift through a whole course and clutch kicking the shit out of it.

ill still drift my car and lower it some more (call me stupid i dont care. to each their own). i just wish this is just parts that failed due to assembly or something like a random failure or hitting something. iono.

Will measure and get back to you.

Not really that impressed with my driveshaft shop axles at this point.

They're still leaking grease after raising the car 20mm to which both my tuner and I thought should fix the issue.

Must be an issue with these axles specifically. I'm not getting a lot of help from the DSS either.

Here's a few pics of them leaking grease just from driving home from work...

Ive destroyed both axles on my car after 6 months of drifting here and there.. Im lowered on stance coilovers pretty low... so add my 2 to the list of shit axles

What type of axles have you been replacing the broken axles with? Factory or upgraded?
