skunk2's, and 15k.

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

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
