How much is it lowered? anything more than 70mm will cause this, I ended up geting a spacer made when mine was at -85

yeah it moves the hub slightly away from the gearbox, stretching the shaft slightly. You just need to make sure you ram the mofo back in to the gearbox hard. Then it whouldn't come out again, and tha the circlip isn't compressed at all, if so bent it out alittle to hold better
