I have 54,000 miles and the car still rides fine. Maybe if they ever finish working on I-4 yours would last longer??

You know, I have been thinking just the same thing. I am getting more wobble (even with stiff sways) but I am not into the bounce phase of the reaallly dead shock. Only 21kmiles on my car. If you are picky, I can totally see you feeling like the car is not as sharp. Got to upgrade.
