Default Is lowering hard on axles?

I have had my GC's for about 4 months now, everything is great but my cv joints on both sides are getting very noisy. I have a feeling that lowering my integra has somehow stressed my axles alot. Anyone else?

If its too low, they dont always like it. Just look at the angle of the axle from wheel toward tranny. If there is an agressive angle raise yo ****. H22 swaps have this problem.

2 inches is fine. I have a friend that went down like 4" with the drop forks and everything, then he popped an axle right out of the trans, nutty. Plus if you drop it too much it puts undo stress on the suspension compnents. Hondas were never made for that you know. 2 inches is about the average rate, and limit before you start having camber problems and the like
