i have an a3 1.6 lowered on coil overs but not ridiculous and have managed to snap the passengers side inner CV joint 3 times this month and i am beginning to lose my head with it.
please if anyone knows why or has any suggestions of why this keeps happening please let me know :D
p.s. they are aftermarket drive shafts i have been replacing them with from gsf

90% sure it's the drive shafts rubbing on the anti roll bar. Common problem with fwd A3's lowered on coilovers usually. The cure is to fit longer drop links I believe.

The proper cure is uprated rollbar with bigger hoops
 
or lift it up so the driveshafts are not binding when they compress essentially hammering the joints out
