How long have you ridden on your stock shocks with aftermarket springs?

LTFA182 · 12-10-2008, 10:08 PM

Just wondering. Please say whats springs you have and approximately how many miles you have gone on them.

forcefanajd · 12-10-2008, 10:14 PM

eibach sportlines....20,000ish

bibby · 12-10-2008, 10:17 PM

skunk2's, and 15k.

Only 500more miles on the shocks w/o, than with the sunk2's.

Zeuceone · 12-10-2008, 10:38 PM

Tein s tech- 24k
Eibach sportlines-5k(current springs)

Total mileage on car about 37k.

I have skunk2's, but I think as long as you do not auto -x or drive like a crazy man on massive backroads they should last around 50k atleast. I do mostly highway driving and I am not worried about the shocks.

About 30,000 on ground controls and I drive some pretty bad roads and there still going strong

25000 miles on progress springs, still holding up

paolo2k2 · 12-12-2008, 10:02 PM

I drove 8000 km shocks were still fine but had cupping on inner tread since the shock couldn't control the oscillations that well. My tire was skipping over some surfaces oh ya I was on prokit

***mattsbobo*** · 12-12-2008, 10:41 PM

30,000 miles with Skunk 2's. No problems yet.

habred07si · 12-12-2008, 10:48 PM

tanabe DF210, 1,200miles no problems (NYC)

K20 Elite · 12-12-2008, 10:53 PM

jocasti · 12-14-2008, 03:16 AM

LTFA182 · 12-14-2008, 03:55 AM

It's good to know I don't have to upgrade right away

Supermoto292 · 12-14-2008, 06:20 PM

3,000K on eibach sportlines

mike_sho · 03-17-2010, 08:07 PM

I spoke with Eibach they said on a newer car you can do it and from the reports here it seems ok. But I wonder. The pro-kit from Eibach is also reported to be about 15% firmer. Im thinking on either this kit or the swift springs kit. Either way keep the reports coming!

***Sleepy*** · 03-17-2010, 08:16 PM

tanabe DF210's roughly 25000kms then switched to coilovers

alanluong · 03-19-2010, 11:59 PM

Installed Eiback Pro-kit when my car was at 13,000 miles. Now i Have 36,000 miles, still good.

AXIS · 03-20-2010, 12:03 AM

about 60k on sportlines

HondaLuvnQTpie · 03-20-2010, 01:43 AM

Neuspeed coilovers- got maybe 30-40,000 before the struts got bad (but this was on a 00 Si)

lazic90 · 03-21-2010, 02:33 AM
