any variation from stock ride height puts more stress on the CV joints.
Where are you buying them from? Autozone reman. units seem to not hold up well, though I had a good experience w/ mine.

I've noticed my boots rubbing too. Your cv's don't wear out sooner due to lowering in most cases, but the higher impacts due to higher spring rates do. However, this only aplies if your axles aren't at an extreme angle.
