Yes. If you try to find the part number for the axles there is only one. Meaning they have to symmetric.
The -1.5" lower than stock part is causing your problem. Keep running this car hard that low and you will pop an axle.

I was running -1.6 rear -1.4 front and lost my drivers rear axle. $100 fix, no problem
Switched to -1.4 rear - 1.2 front and lost another drivers rear axle (more violently this time.) $100 to fix as well as my ring and pinion got hosed in the process and various seals ($1200 later, I'm back on the road)

Now at -1.2 rear and 1.0 front and have been happy as a clam running hard for 10k miles. Unless adding differential spacers, I would not again run this car lower than -1.2 hard for any amount of time.
