I replaced the cv shafts a few months ago on my 18 Accord 2.0T Touring lowering on Tein coilover's and seem to be having no issues. The shafts appear to be well built and as sturdy as stock. These saved me $300-$400 dollars compared to genuine Honda replacement. Do not attempt to replace these yourself unless you're rather mechanically inclined. I had to pretty much remove the hubs completely. You'll need a large 36mm axle socket that I got from a kit at Harbor Freight. The passenger side is removed and replaced easier than the driver. The driver side has a male spline shaft off the cup that is fastened in the transmission via a snap/keeper ring on the end of the spline. I had to cut notches in the drive cup in order to pull or beat the cup out of the trans. Again, replacing with new, it is hard to get that ring to seat as you don't have much surface to drive the shaft back in place (pretty much just the other end at the hub side and there is play). Just ensure you've seated the shafts all the way before re-assembly. Also, if you have over 100k miles then expect your other suspension components up front to realize they're worn out as well after being disturbed during this install. A-Premium also makes ball joints and tie rod ends too that don't break the bank.....and harbor freight has a ball joint separator that will work for removing these. If you're having a shop do the replacement and have higher miles then just buy ball joints and tie rod ends to replace while they're at it. The ball joint separator will need modified to fit in the small space between the cv shaft if removing while hub is in place fyi..I didn't realize these were bad until complete reassembly and some driving.
