Axles Or PBM Subframe risers?
What is a better solution? DSS Axles or the Powered by max subframe risers?
I'm at a standstill with deciding. Wonder if anyone had any experience with both or one or the other. Any advice would be appreciated.

I went with the DSS axles for peace of mind. They are very well made and have a ton of support behind them.

I'd do the PBM stuff. Add in their LCAs, and they raise your hub up as well.

I have their LCA's already. My car went from stupid stanced(tons of camber, 6 degrees) to factory spec's and Axle broke recently.

Prolly the straw that broke the camels back, if you see what I'm getting at. If you're not putting down stupid power and aren't too low, you're probably ok with stock axles.

The car is pretty low just not as low as it was(IE lip of wheels tucked in fenders on 18s), not it is more of a hair of clearance between tire(meaty ones now) and fender and is only at about 300hp.

DSS Axles do not solve in CV breakage problem. Subframe or diff risers will. The other choice is to only lower your car just a bit.

I'm running the pbm subframe risers for almost a year now with no problems. My car is about 1 1/2 lower than stock, dz102 tires on stock wheels, and about -1.2 degrees camber. Every month or so, I check the axles and haven't seen any tears or leaks coming from the cv joints or heard any strange clicking noises that associates with breaking axles.

Did you just do the subframe risers or did you also pair it with the pbm diff riser bushings as well? I have the whole kit, but I'm debating wether to just do the subframe riser and pair it with the whiteline diff cradle and support insert, or if to do the whole pbm kit. I'm mainly questioning the idea of solid diff bushings, because from my understanding wouldn't or couldn't that hurt the drivetrain a bit being completely stiff?
