Pro-S life expectancy

so i'm on my pro-s with them all the way down in the rear missing a lock ring, and only 5 threads till im maxed out in the front. I just want to know how much i can expect to get out of these, i've had them on for about 4-5k miles.

just trying to get an idea of how long they'll last, i also get a little bit of popping noise coming from the rears? anyone else get that??

shocks are a wear item, with that said you havent mentioned driving habits.

all local ? pothole ridden roads ? smooth highway driving ? lots of canyons ?

id say they are no good after 30k miles.

I've had mine for 25,000 kms, they haven't changed at all, so that's a good sign, haha. Not sure how long they're supposed to last though.

You can get them rebuilt normally for about $100 each though. So even when they do start leaking, you are only $400 away from a refresh.

Pro-s are so cheap that you might as well buy new ones once they start leaking.
