Coilover'd peeps, how long do your axles last?
Just want to get an unofficial survey going.
I lowered my car in November, replaced both axles then.... driver's side axle has **** the bed as of a week ago or so.
However, I drive on what might be the worst roads in NYC.

Could be quality of your replacement axles, driving conditions, your driving style, ride height, or all of the above. I'm down about 2.5" using coilovers driving on chopped up roads for about a year now on OEM axles from 1999 and I recently started to hear the occasional clicks of torn outer CV boots.

Nex SS coilovers, dropped basically at about the same height as you (same color as well if that matters)
Though I admit the roads I drive on are absolutely terrible and do no good for the life of axles even at stock height.. I had 2 torn boots on the axles I replaced when I lowered the car

Still riding on the originals (~66k) but they've been clunking since I ran coilovers about 8mos ago. Passenger side started making noise first. Boots are not torn but the driver's side is losing grease :/
