Car: '14 BRZ
Miles: 7,800
Use: DD, never tracked/autocrossed/abused
Suspension: RCE Yellows (20mm drop)
Power: ~240whp (theoretical/estimate, not dynoed)
Forced Induction: Vortech SC
Axle broke story: Eventually...

I've had ticking going on for a few weeks that's progressively gotten more frequent and I'm feeling I should replace it soon. Started even when I was on stock suspension but given that now I'm slightly lowered and have an SC the dealer's not going to warranty it, granted I should have had it checked out much sooner but I didn't realize it was the axles unless it was too late. Is the 20mm drop geometry likely to repeatedly destroy axles or did I just have a bad one from the factory? I've been considering diff risers but only if it's necessary.
