R32 Gts4 Cv Joints

[Footnah]

Hey guys, I've currently gone through 2 sets of CVs in my gts4 and they're reasonably expensive to continuously replace, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a heavy duty replacement or atleast something stronger?

Cheers

Do you have severely lowered suspension?

How many km do your cvs last?

[Footnah]

Yeah, I've got ISC coilovers and the car's so low that I need to put the car on blocks to still be able to get my low profile blue point jack under the cross member. BUT, it all came like this, I haven't touched the suspension at all.

The first set were x amount old, but I screwed them within 300k's, but I did a decent amount of launches cause it was my first AWD car, the novelty didn't wear off quickly.
Then I put a second hand set in (couldn't find new ones) so they were also x amount of k's old, and I got about 3000 out of those. Including a full track day at a hillclimb with close to 20 runs up the hill dropping the clutch at around 4500rpm.

so why not raise the car a little? would be easier to do than replacing the cv joints

[Footnah]

That's plan B.
I like how the car sits, but I don't like breaking the CVs. So I was trying to find a solution so I can have both, but at this stage raising the car looks like the only way to get them to last longer.

Will they still break if I have it in RWD mode most of the time?

Hi, Are your wheel cambers faceing in Negative- at the top, Is it the front or rear shafts you are stuffing, Are your rear drive shafts 6 bolt or 5 bolt at the diff ? , Put a pic of ya car up as it sits & a pic of thye rear end so we can se the rear wheels from behind and sam e for the front pic, so if you can supply that info we might be able to work something out for you, Cheers Jamind, A31 Cefiro SE-4

Ah yeah, I forgot to mention that it was the front CVs I'm having the issues with.
I'm not sure of any front camber. The rear has alot of rear camber, close to 5 degrees, but there's nothing dog balls obvious about the front. The car's up on stands at the moment cause it's getting some love, but i'll get pics asap.
