    lowing your car puts extra stress on the cradle thats why the camber is so but, plus as the rear bobs up n down through normal driving and accelerating it puts load or stress on the frame, and as you can imagine burnouts lots of accelerater, load through the whole drive line all helps cause these cracks, the frame is only 1.6mm thick steel and is just a weak spot in the vechicals. Regency park (SA police) claim that by just lowering it and letting it sit can crack it, without driving but i think thats bulsh*t
