on megans now, ******* HATE rear tire gap! but front is ok. I still have an inch in the front i could drop and two in the back (room between fender and tire)

So, what drop springs are you AUTOMATIC trans guys on that drop alot without warping axles? Im think H&R sports, heard bad ride but they cant be worse that megan coils with 60k. I just want to be about .75-1" lower. Which is not slammed by any means.

Here is a possible suggestion. Probably expensive but maybe cheaper than custom axles. A machine shop should be able to cut your axles shorter and re-spline the end again. Same process as when a rear wheel drive vehicle shortens the axle for a tubbed rear end. Just a suggestion. I'm sitting pretty low on my LS manual trans but I have not had this problem.

im still on a hunt, im not convinced that lowering the car 1inch would cause me axle bind, especially that i have put front and rear trans mount and it completly change the vibration from first gear to intermitten in second gear and not as bad. one or both top mounts must be shot too. if it wasnt the mounts then it wouldnt of made no changes. i mean if you think about it on stock suspension youd get axle bind just turning!! dosent make sense at all
