Default Shaking after lowering

Ok so I had the wobble after I lowered the car. I took it to a shop thinking something was loose and they told me its worn axles and to replace them suggesting I buy an oem
Replacement axles as they are much cheaper. So I replaced them . But it still wobbles! So what are my options now? What should the next steps be?

Does it wobble at a certain speeds? How about during acceleration/deceleration? What about in neutral/in gear?

Only during accelleration it used to do it in very gear but after I swaps the axle it only does it in 6th between 3500-4500 rpm when I try to speed up

I suggest you invest in some Axle Spacers, I also had a problem with the vibrating/wobbleing after lowering on coilovers, and I invested in Megan axle spacers, it still vibrates a little bit, but not too bad as when I didn't have any before. Or you can try Swapping the CV buckets, but I have no idea to do that.

Axle spacers are a crock, you dont need them.

You didnt need new axles either. all you had to do was swap the buckets from side to side.

If you do not have TWO NEW HONDA AXLES in the car, that is you problem.

Are they rebuild axles from auto parts? If so they are garbage.

Get your stock axles back, swap the buckets side to side, put them back in and your car will be perfect I guarantee it.

Trust me on this. I've seen it many many times over the last 8 years. too many times to count.
