Default B18C5 Swap, DSS Stage 2 Axles... car is too low?

Ok so my car is low. Its on Ground Controls that are currently STUCK so i can't raise it. Anyways I go through axles a lot and im pretty sure its the ride height. I just aquired some Drive Shaft Shop Stage 2 axles and i can FEEL it shake at low speeds due to binding. I got some H&R Sport springs with new AGX shocks going on by the weekend, but im wondering if anyone has ever had this problem with a LOW car?

I have a B18C5 swap with the factory LSD transmission... i have heard that LSD transmissions may make a difference in the axles you use.. is this true?

In theory, this would put more stress on the axles, but if so then how come i seem to be the only one with this problem? I see many cars on here who are a lot lower than I am.

I looked up the part numbers for axles for a 97 Type R and for a 97 GS-R and the part numbers are different...

ITR


GS-R


Hope those links work.

what axles are you using? try 90 integra axles. I had My Crx in my Sig lowered on GC's and had no problems.

Im using hydro B-series axles. Currently have the Driveshaft Shop Stage 2 axles. But im afraid of blowing them out.

I don't believe 90 Integra axles will work, since I think those are both male ends right? Mine are one male, one female...

I give up. Apparently no one here has ever had this problem.
