Question for you dropped guys?

I was wondering if a drop will affect your axels/cvjoints? I had mine replaced about 30k ago but I just put on some s-techs which dropped the front really low. (barely 2 finger gap)

Will this wear out my cvjoints? The axels look like there at a weird angle due to the drop... Sorry for the noob question

i heard they may. thats not a yes or no, but its all i have.

i need new axels, and will be buying them from raxels beacuse they sell NEW axels not referbed ones. (from what someone on the org here said).

there is nothing really different than new or remans....they both ahve new CVs...but anyway depending on how low u go yes.....the less the drop the less stress....but still stress and affecting longevity....
on a side note....i recently emailed a company who manufactures ball-joint extenders for WRXs and tried my best to convince them that 4th gen maxima owners need them....so we will see
