ok heres the problem. i have a 99 gst and i have a act 2600 and eibach lowering springs and i keep breaking axles. they snap about and inch from the outer cv joint. ive gone through 4 axles. the stock one the boot ripped and i replaced it with a napa axle and all those snapped. everybody is telling me its the springs but i think its the axle they napa axles are noticibly smaller in daimater.

my dad is telling me to take the springs off and he thinks it will solve the problem what do you guys think.

by hte way i bought a driveshaft shop axle and he thinks its not gonna fix anything
 
If the springs are too low it might put the axle at a hard angle which might stress the axle more. Sportlines are pretty darn low. To check it just get under the car without jacking it up and look at the angle of the axleshaft.

Prothane motor mounts will help since they keep the motor from shifting around.

Skinny shafts that break at the skinny part? Sounds like you need to call Raxles.
