I put on Tanabe GF-210 springs and Tokico Illumina shocks.
The springs are avertised at only dropping the car 1.2" but it dropped more like 2".
I can only get 1 1/4 finger in between the front tire and fender.
Soo, after a few months I changed my oil and noticed the inner cv boots were split. Grease everywhere.
I got them replaced and the shop said that I will continuly have this problem because of the angle of the axles due to the car being lowered.
After only a couple months they are torn again.
I have read that a few people have had the same problem but no one says what you can do if anything to keep them from tearing.
Would new / stiffer motor mounts help? Mine has the oem mounts w/ 115k miles.
A different style boot possibly from a different make car? Aftermarket boot?
Maybe going to Eibach pro springs in the front?
I can't keep replacing boot every two months......please help
