How low is it? If its too low the driveshafts will be at a silly angle putting too much stress on the cv's

There's a good chance it could be that, how old are the coilies? & if you still have the standard shocks and suspension you could put them back on to see if it does it with them too. If it doesn't then you knpw for sure it's ypu Coilover
