CV Joints - Replacement

Purchased an 08 Evo X (5speed) a few months ago and it’s been great!

its lowered on BC gold coilovers ( wheels have a finger or two gap) and Recently its been shuddering or vibrating when going from under 3000 rpm to over 3000 rpm in 4th and 5th gear, its a bit of a ghost as when you drive the car hard its completely fine, but if im driving normally (going from 80km's to 100km's on the motorway in 4th or 5th)

So people tell me it’s the CV joints are screwed, they don’t make any noise though

I raised the car by 10mm and it has eased the problem, so it seems the issue is caused by the car being to low. This may be the axel angel causing the CV joints to fail /wear to quick

Is there a suitable replacement for the standard ones?

(OEM is overpriced here) and if I broke the standard there is no point going back to standard haha

And I live in New Zealand, so it may be a little hard for non-internet based shops

Thanks!
