My car is still under warranty but since I have tein basic(but I only lower it for 1.5") on so I bet the stearler will give me hard time to have this done through warranty. Or is it worth to take out the tein and go back for warranty?

I am not too sure if its related to shaking, but it's definitely affects when you are turning. You will hear this clicking sound when turning your car to a certain side (right or left). Luckily, My drive shaft is not shot, just my boot, so I can still drive around for 1-2 yrs. I don't even have the clicking sound yet. Well, the only way to tell is to jack up your car and look at your drive shaft to be sure. And prepare to pay around $300 (parts and labour) for one side. So if taking the coilovers off is cheaper, I would do that instead. At least they give you OEM drive shaft, OEM is always better, unless you are getting DSS ones.

are spoon axles worth it?

ive had the vibration on my car for a couple months now. Finally took it to the dealership and requested a drive with the tech so i wouldnt get bs like "cant duplicate problem" turns out my right axles are "culprit" so ill be getting new ones under warranty on tues, but when i took my car back after they inspected it..my driver side is making a rattle noise with some squeeking..wtf they do to the driver side lol thankfully car is under warranty..

I don't know for sure but my guess is no, spoon are not worth it. They tend to be overgrown stock items.

Personally I'd replace with new OEM units...
