I could be wrong, but I would assume about 50% of the members here have lowered suspension and ive never heard of any driveshaft problems due to them being lowered.

uh first this thread is in the wrong place

second, ok wheels for chrome but they look like their sticking out a lot

third, how could lowering the car put strain on the driveshaft, in reality if you think about it, lowering the car gives it a better center of gravity and in some cases better weight distribution, in which case this would actually relieve stress on the car because it is in a much more functional stance, no? i could see some stress being put on things like endlinks, bushings, and such, but not the driveshaft. unless you are cornering ur car in autocross events
