Slammed Cobalts on Coilovers maxed out ONLY please

Alright guys and gals i have a 07 ls with stance gr+ coilovers on it, they are almost maxed out right now, and i see people still go lower by removing locking rings but i wanna know what are you doing to save axels? last summer i broke 4 driverside axels and 1 pass side, now my pass side one is clicking bad again and it hasnt been driven sense sept other then 2 days this week.
gotta figure out this axel **** so i can get the locking rings out and slam the bitch

ya rotated mounts and maybe some steering rack spacers, but being really low is always hard on the axles as it is, and with your mods im sure u dont drive like a grandma.
