Default Outer joints popping....worn boots i think

I have a 94 GSR that has Tein springs. Those lower the car 2.5 inches in the front and 1.5 in the back. I have been told that my boots are rubbing and have worn through. Also, the grease has shot out of the outer joints. That is the reason for the popping. I have looked into getting Raxles axles but im debating on whether to put my car back to stock height to keep from wearing this set of axles out. Need help PLEASE! Any comments or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Thanx!

Have you just been told this, or have you looked at it yourself and confirmed this?

I, as well as many people I know, have had their cars lowered the same height or lower with no axleboot problems. Most of these cars are making significant power as well.

Perhaps over time, something just came up and ripped the boot, it happens. If you aren't pushing massive power, I'd just go to your local auto parts store and get some OEM replacement axles. I believe Autozone has lifetime replacement ones.
