Default drive shaft damage potential

hey guys,

I was speaking with a mechanic, and he told me that having my car so low is really bad for my drive shafts and CV joints... he says that honda designs them to work at an angle, and by lowering the car and therefore straightening them out they're working out of spec and causes premature failure..

but it seems Everyone's honda is lowered now adays...

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this subject....

Thanx guys

i don't think so... axle angle is ALWAYS bad. the more axle angle you have the worse it is. On the contrary to your mechanics belief, the straighter the axles are...the LESS it will harm them.
