GS300 Coilover Life?

I guess the life of a coilover is dependent on what most of the guys are mentioning here; roads, driving habits, potentially weather conditions, but more so the products' aftermarket lifetime warranty, build quality, and customer service. Although it's not a direct statement of how long a coilover will last, here's how the products (not an inclusive list) are backed from the company and what would help me in the decision:
Bilstein PSS
- backed by a lifetime warranty
K-Sport
- All applications with the new design change will carry Ksport’s all new 18-month limited warranty against defects, damage and labor charges. All items stocked and sold before the date of May 1st are still covered under Ksport’s warranty program and are guaranteed for quality and reliability.
Megan
- All Items sold are on an as is basis. Warranties that apply may be limited manufacturer warranties. Megan Racing disclaims all warranties expressed or implied. They also do not authorize any one to assume liability in connection with these items.
Stance
- Enjuku Racing (builder of Stance coilovers http://stancecoilovers.com/shipping-and-returns/) does not cover manufacturer's warranty. All warranty and guarantees are provided by the manufacturer.
- side note, the term is not specified
Tanabe
- 12 month warranty
Tein
- 1-year Manufacturers Defect Warranty
Bilstein PSS
- backed by a lifetime warranty

20K miles? Man you guys have little faith in your coilovers
When I pulled Masboy's coilovers off his car, they were still working perfectly. He probably had over 90k miles on them. Mine has a little over 20k miles, and they still perform great. Can't tell a difference between it and a new set!
Can't say the same for some of the people I know though. Leaking shocks after 10k miles, knocking noise after 20k miles, and the list goes on...

RCA's Rear Camber
Megan Racing Ajustable Control Arm. But from IS300 2001 to 2005 Fit perfect. When I buy Megan Racing not made for GS but for IS300 Megan made it and this the best proof that fit perfect and work as well.
Front RCA's Cambers 30mm
D2 Coilovers.
