   you dont need them. you must have a problem either being too low or you drive like a cunt wheelspinning etc. however, pugsport shafts are £1800 per pair

   Lowered 60mm might be your problem due to the drive shafts sitting at an awkward angle. What size wheels?

    people haev had this before, you may drive a bit harder than others or the roads you drive may be bumpier speeding up the 'nobbing' proccess.

    are you snapping them at the joints, i was eating passenger shafts eventually i changed the strut on that side an i never had a problem with it since but to look at the strut u wud never think there was a problem, maybe go down taht road if its just 1 side u can get strut for 15quid an change it in under half an hour
