I'm looking at lowering the car, but after reading this, im trying to figure out how low before axle geometry is skewed and putting excess stress on the axles? I see PSM has the diff risers.
If you raise or lower the suspension, you run the risk of causing excess strain on the cv joints on the axles. Diff risers may help, but I don't know. After I swapped axles with another used FR-s axle all seems fine.

Please read all posts that have listed why their axles have failed (including mine). Then take into consideration that you run the risk of breaking axles if you decide to lower, so save some extra dough for axles or a lot of dough for DriveShaftShop axles, and lower away!
