Default ED's WITH DOHC ZC: Question about stock height and ZC transmission/axles

I am returning my car to stock height. I cannot deal with the ride at this point in my life. I have DOHC ZC with ZC transmission and one ZC axle, ZC halfshaft, and the replacement 90-93 integra driver's side axle becauase my ZC axle went bad on that side.

It drives just perfectly fine right now. HOWEVER: I have heard from 2 different places that my axle and transmission combination will have problems at stock height.

OWNERS: Please chime in to tell me if this claim is isolated or is unfounded for the most part, or if it is a widespread problem. If it is a problem I am in alot of trouble.

I would think that more problems would arise from it being lowered.

Loweing a car puts the axles at more extreme angles. Raising it up lessens those angles.

Those are my thoughts also. Another thing was taht the JDM Civic SI should be the exact same Civic we got, so therefore the parts should work as well.

I am awaiting the response from this guy:

Went back to stock height last night, and have yet to have any problems. Even drove around a parkinglot with the wheel turned completely both ways and nothing bad happened.

Must have been some freak accident thing iono.

p.s. feel free to lol@ the baja bug i drive now:
