Hard to say really....I am replacing my struts (I have 160k on them) with new Eibachs and Tokicos (which came in today actually ) I have heard in the past they can be good for 200k+ but it really depends on how you drive them....living on a dirt road, or crashing pot holes all the time definitely isnt going to help much. As the driver though, you can usually "feel" the difference when its that time. Keeping an eye on any sagging is a good idea too...

Default undefeatedsc3 .....

undefeatedsc3 if you don't mind me asking how much you send on your setup you just got and where did you get your items from ??? Also are you going to install you self or have them installed... I just got my car looked over and had the transmission and coolant flushed and oil changed, and while they were looking at the car they found that the left front strut is leaking and that it would be like 700 JUST FOR THE FRONT to have both left and right front struts replaced... I was like I will get back with you and after asking around as long as you have time on your hands that they can be easy and after they were installed to go get an all wheel alignment. And I was looking to get the Eibachs springs and 2 pairs of good struts and when I would have them installed or be self-installed I would do them all at once.............
