Its a shame most don't realise lowering a 4x4 Saph on it arse totally ruins the handling.
Oh yeah replace your engine mounts and fit new shafts that will solve it but the CV joints will keep on breaking if the car is driven proper hard

do not replace the shafts with longer ones as this will cause more problems
for the Ł300 that ggr charge for the longer shaft you can get a pair of adjustable tcas to bring the wheels back in correcting the camber & saving wear on the tyres plus a pair of uprated engine mounts to stop the engine from moving.
i had the longer drive shafts fitted to mine & they were ok until I wanted to go round a corner fast & they caused a load of vibration.
