2012 G37x Axles

How strong are 2012 G37x Axles? I want to lower my G with coilovers and I don't want to deal with fixing the axles all the time. I have a friend with 07 g35x and he said it seems to be an issue on lowered awd Gs

The axle itself? I've heard of swapping out the boots due to them tearing.

I'm lowered on Eibach springs, TT, and track regularly. Haven't had an issue with the axles for 5 years. (maybe I'm not pushing the car hard enough haha)

I had my passenger side one replaced under warranty but that was @ 72k miles on my 09. haven't heard of any issues with the axles from lowering, You sure you're not asking about the links?

Zero issues, but I avoid potholes, speedbumps, and all that like the plague.

I got a slammed 09 X that's been slammed for a few years now, No axles issues, not yet at least. Only problem is the awd isn't slam/big drop friendly. I got a little over an inch of clearance underneath. Not very fun on Chicago roads, but I manage. But looking underneath, the boots are pretty stretched, so I guess I'm getting lucky.
