Eibach Springs and drive shaft issues?

Has anyone heard of issues with running Eibach lowering springs(1.2inch drop) and drive shaft issues? I already bought them but if its going to be an issue than I'll stick with the original sport suspension springs that are on there now. Thanks for any advice in advance.

It seems like some have vibrations and some don't. Put them in and see how your car is. That is a common drop depth (close to NM and swift), many people running these without an issue.

Have fun,
Mike

I had a vibration with NM springs. Mostly in first and second gear. Other than that it never caused an issue with the shafts...

My concern is having to change out the shafts do to the vibrations due to the wearing from 75k miles prior to the drop.
