My shocks are 5yrs old and have only had 28k miles but they feel very bounce on certain roads. At times when I get to a camber, one side of the car just _drops_. I'm not sure if that's a sign of the shocks being totally worn out or not but it certainly didn't feel this way before.

I'm told that most shocks last 50-60k miles. But mine only has 28k miles so I'm wondering does the 5yrs factor play into it, or maybe the roads in my area just got worse? Or maybe I'm just being overly sensitive with ride quality after commuting daily on my bike for so long?

i have almost 80,000 KM (50,000 miles) and my rear feel VERY weak and getting bouncy over bumps and dips
Sometimes I get one side seems to sag compared to other side in the rear when parked but evens out after driving
I have hit quite a number of nasty potholes (some just can't be avoided, typical Toronto road conditions) but I try my best not to
However when I push down on the 4 corners the car doesn't bounce so they're not blown yet maybe just leaking some air right now
My front is much better than the rear

I'm lowered on H&R sport springs for roughly 20-30m000 KM

stiffer springs will wear out stock shocks faster, so thats no surprise. Cant expect stock shocks on aftermarket springs to last as long as stock springs.

my 2IS had 56k miles on 7 years and it was fine, all I had was the sport package as suspension upgrades
