    The spacers are not just for vibration. I had no vibration but my axles are both shot now.

    yeah the spacers help get the cv angles clower to stock. so there's less chance of things wearing quickly

    it has a lot to do with the condition of your motor/trans mount as well.

    The stock CV boots tend to split when you change stock angle that they sit at. Personally, if I was doing my suspension all over again, I would just do the CVs at the same time.

    Yes I meant both. Although I only have a half set in....Don't use ZZPs spacers either...Buy Vinnie's off here or CGP.

    doing anything fun to your car will make it "less reliable" performance mods, or lowering do not help the longevity of the car obviously. but they are fun so, why not right?

    You can make the car handle without lowering it and without causing the increased wear on the suspension.

    my car handles pretty good right now GMPP sway bars help, lowering would be 100% for looks, any performance gains would be gravy to me and lowering it wouldnt make it that unreliable im more worried about how much harder the car is going to be to jack up and scraping on things.....michigan roads/parking lots suck

    spring rate difference between stock and lowering springs isn't that much.

    You'd notice more from better struts.

    Or coilovers.

    yes, it also ruins your suspension geometry.

    Bet no one told you about that.
