Mazdaspeed Shock Life - When did you replace yours?
 
I've had the MS suspension for almost three years now and racked up about 50K on the MS shocks. The car is starting to get a little bouncy over bumps and the steering is not as sharp as it has been in the past. How long should these guys last? I drive the car pretty hard, have done a few track days and we have some rough roads in Houston.

I'm not sure if these are better built than the stock shocks, I would guess not, just stiffer. The MS springs are pretty stiff, so I would think that if the shocks we starting to go, that would cause some of the issues I'm having.

I'm not seeing any oil leaks or anything of that nature.

Anyone else replace their MS shocks? How long have your stock shocks lasted?

Generally shocks are only really good for 30K or less.

Mine are still tolerable but I can feel the slop in autox, roadcourse not so much.
