Life of Stock Struts
I have an 03 Sportdesign with 32k. I plan on replacing the stock springs with L-tuned springs in the near future.
How long are the stock struts designed to last? Should I just replace them when replacing the shocks even though they only have 32k on them?
I haven't looked at them for leaking/wear.

you should generally get aftermarket shocks anyway, simply because your stock struts will likely wear out faster on different springs. that said, i highly doubt you have any real wear as it is right now.

Is a difference felt on the street with a shocks/springs/strut bars (front & rear) setup as opposed to a coilovers'/strut bars (front & rear) setup? Also, what are the pros and cons of each setup??

really?
there's a sticky right at the top of this subforum that says shocks/springs vs. coilovers

Ride quality has to do with spring rate, dampening settings, and how low you're riding. You will feel a difference just because the your parts will be different. Coilovers do not ride better just because they're coilovers. You have soft and stiff springs/coilovers. No matter what you choose, it's probably going to feel unique.
