No one can answer this for you. It all depends on your driving style and the condition of the roads you drive on

Like everyone says it depends on how you drive. IMO springs are a gamble at best. Just go with coilover or any other full suspension setup.

No one knows. It's a question that asks the question back.

Be happy that it should last until you have the money to upgrade it.

There is no answer to the question. There is no way of telling how long they will last even without lowering springs.

one pothole can blow your shock new or old!....so with lowering springs its basically luck of the draw...some people have run up to 50 000 km ....mine went bad after 8000 with a pro kit...but i do have the worst roads and a couple autocross events
