    Lowerd ix front axle pic

    Anyone have a picture from the front end where you see the front drive shaft angle? Would like to compare :)

    Hopefully this will help.
    I was changing oil on Sunday and remembered you needed a pic...

    My front ride height is 13" from the center of the wheel straight up to the fender lip.

        I need to do mine. I want to say it's 11.5-12" from the center of my wheel to the fender lip. the axle is pretty angled!

          The car definitely looks better at 12", but I was going through halfshafts every year.

            I haven't had any problems. Mine have well over 250k on them.

              Dayum.

              I will admit, I've never replaced them with new, just refreshed.

                            you moved the firewall back right? I bet it has to be pretty close otherwise the CV shafts would hit the subframe.

                              Yes i did, i think so too. If i pump the suspension all the way up without a spring the drive shaft just touches the frame rail if i remember correct. Something like that :) I dont think it can touch with the spring in place.
