I recently installed some eibach lowering springs and shortly after noticed trans fluid leaking I took it to my local Honda and they advised me the axle was blown and bent and said the cause was the stock axle not being able to handle the 1 inch drop has anyone had this happen to them ?? I don’t have pictures unfortunately im going tomorrow to check it out

I run the eibachs and 0 issues. Probably damaged the seal when installing the springs.

Can the seal be replaced? also when I was installing the driver side spring the axle popped out and a slinky type ring came out I figured that was the leak would you know what it is ?

Yeah if the axle came out the you probably messed up the seal. If the spring came out. Just getting it replaced will take care of it. It has nothing to do with the spring height.
