Sub frame risers
 
So from what i read, the axles get a lot of stress when our cars are lowered. A couple different people already shared their broken axle stories. Has anybody bought sub frame risers? Is it worth the $100? Anybody make their own?

It's definitely worth the $100 for the reason of it making a huge difference in axle angle. The big downside is the VERY LOUD NVH that's added to the ride. The diff whine is very loud and it would probably suck for anybody using the car as a daily driver-unless you really just don't give a f*ck.

What are you using the car for? If it isn't slammed or you're not making more power or running a lot of grip, it might not be a big issue.

I use mine for drifting and on my first event, I had a slight issue with the axles. Got it fixed and dialed out some rear grip by increasing tire pressure and have yet to have an issue since. All on stock power level

Yeaa its my daily driver and occasionally I drift it, I'm lowered but I'm not slammed nor will I be making any more power. No moneys for more power yet :thumbdown:
What kind of issues did you run into if you don't mind me asking.
