But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Also not really regarded as *road safe*.

I'm surprised its having an effect on the driveshafts - as standard, the wishbones are like this (really exaggerated)

then after lowering about 40mm, they are like this   

-  -     

then after lowering about 60-80mm they are like this,

\   /


If anything, I would have thought lowering 40mm would have the worst effect, considering the arc the driveshafts will move in. Lowered more than that - its likely to be like stock again.
