Broken Axles
So i have Truhartt Coilovers sitting in my garage waiting to be put on, I already had them on then had to take them off because they were broke my cv axles, how would I put them on without ruining my cv axles?
When i took it to the shop they said it was in shapes they werent suppose to be in because of the coilovers. I put new cv axles in and may try again i just dont know if its going to ruin the axles or maybe they were just bad at the time and needed to be replaced
Is your G a X model? Meaning is it AWD or standard RWD?
I'm with BlackBetty on this one. There is more to the story as coilovers should have little to no effect on CV joints. Front CV's (on AWD models, maybe), but the rears should not be affected at all.
Please provide more info...

Still unclear as to what the shop deems "all messed up" and what they allegedly repaired/replaced. What was the diagnosis: torn boot(s), clicking in turns, thunking noise over bumps...? CV joints themselves are pretty reliable- it is usually the rubber boots that fail- but external factors can cause failure.
Typically, lowering a car a few mm's here and there will not affect the driveline too much. However, if your car is "slammed" the change in driveline angle can create additional stress on the CV joints, the axle, and the hubs- all leading to potential, premature failure.
All depends on how low your car is set at this point. I have no clue what a "S" or "Z" shape refers to. What kind of shop is this?
Hopefully others can add to the topic.

A 3" drop is too much, especially for a AWD car. Most folks drop these cars 1" or so. IIRC, anything over 2" is pushing the limits. If you want the car slammed like that you will need custom axles- at least for the front but likely all four corners. You either have to reconsider your drive height or research custom axle sets that will take into account the different driveline angle.
