Hey People With Springs!
I just wanted to know how peoples shocks are doing that have aftermarket springs like the Teins or Espelirs. I heard that the shocks should last about 50-60,000 miles. So please! If you have installed springs on your car and still have the factory shocks please give me some feedback. Thanks.

I've had H&R's on the standard shocks now for only 2500kms, so far no problems......still early days.

My stock shocks wore out around 20K miles. I was running Eibachs.
