Default slammed suspensions questions!

Was wondering what effects will it have on my car if i were to ride slammed for a long time, as of right now, tucking a lot of tire on gc/koni setup.

I heard that axles can break, and cv joints, but what else?

Also, i dont know if this is the problem of dumping my car.
I drive an automatic, and when i gear it on D4 and let it roll, then i step on the brakes it 'clicks, and sometimes when i turn my wheel it clicks, none of this is heard going at moderate speeds though, does anyone know what all of it means? could it be my axle? thanks.

Riding slammed does not break axles, unless you're slamming the axle into the frame.

It can certainly wear CV joints faster though. If you hear clicking when turning the wheel, it sounds like (at least one of) your CV joints are going out.

Really though, if you insist on riding slammed, you accept the hassle of frequent inspection and replacement of parts that would not otherwise wear out. If you want the look, ya gotta pay the price.
