wierd noise on take off...

the best way to describe this is everytime i take off hard and the backend sinks it feels like my driveshaft/u-joint is grinding against the bottom of my car....I bought the car lowered on eihbach springs lowered 1.25 in front and 1.50 in the back...it will grind like that until the cars momentum gets going and the backend lifts back up...thinking bad shocks?...I put the car on ramps and looked underneath and it deff. seems like there isnt enough room between the drive shaft and body of the car...looks like they had put an aftermarket "oversized" drive shaft on the car to be honest...

Re: wierd noise on take off...

Did they install LCA relocation brackets to adjust the LCA's to the correct angle? Did they install an adjustable panhard rod to recenter the body over the rear axle?

Did you see any indication the driveshaft if rubbing? Just how large (diameter) is what you describe as "oversized"?
