Default Awd lowered and hearing suspension noise

So my car is droped on coilovers now I just replaced the axles last month and it sounds Luke they are already gone again. Do you awd guys experice noises front the axles or suspension area. Or maybe is it that I'm too low and it straining the parts under my car because of the heavy weight of the car

Nope its not that I was over spec with my 20s on and it would only rub when the wheels are turning. I have my stock wheels on now and there's no rubbing.

I have a lowered AWD and have not had any issues you have described. My car is lowered about 2" on Tanabe springs, 1.5 years and 20k miles.

What year and miles are on your car? Who replaced the axles?
