Default Stock Shock ?

Hey guys, does anyone know about how long stock shocks are good for. I bought the car at 35k miles and have been running Tein S Techs for about 6k miles. I am wondering how long my stock shocks should hold up..

Your shocks will be fine. They may wear out sooner than if you were at stock height ........BUT when was the last time you ever changed shocks on a car. Replace them if they blow. Other than that I wouldnt stress it to much. Are you doing track days or autocross??

you'll probably be fine up til about 100,000 miles or more unless you drive around like a madman...like me! and ur roads are as bad as it is here in boston. you can be like me, if the struts blow, get some coilovers. i'm lowered in f-sport springs. the struts will run me $650 + shipping or i can get BC racing coils for about a grand or less. but i doubt my struts will blow before that. i'll prolly end up getting the coils regardless haha

The reality is that the shocks will last longer than most here will own the ISx50 car.
