I am going to switch to HnR Sport Springs (1.75 Drop All Around) and i want to know how long my shocks will last before i have to change them - i have an 2002 TL-P with 20,650 miles on it - thanx

 

Most people will tell you it just depend on how you drive and the condition of the roads. If you live where there are tons of potholes, dips and speedbumps, you are gonna replace them sooner. IF you drive mostly highway where everything is mostly pothole free, ur pretty safe.

 

With lowering springs, the stock shocks will last a lot shorter than with stock springs.

 

well im curious bout this too but how about a round about estimate? cuz im sure we all know they dont last as long... but at what mileage do they start to give out and need replacing? given average road conditions

 

Yeah Thanx Guys for da info - i really am intrested in a mileage estimate too - I drive in average conditions not too bumpy - and i do anything to avoid bumps even if it means to go on the other lane - going over bumps and pot holes piss me off

 

I had stock shock with H&R sport springs for about 20,000 miles, they are still fine, but i am considering replacing them with Konis Adj. when its around 35,000 miles

 

how about save up enough to do both, then do it, save on the labor, give those shocks about 5 month, after you lower it

 

I've had my for about 20,000 miles now and I am probably going to have to change them at say $30K I think. The question is this: How long do aftermarket performance shocks like Koning usually last?
