So blew a shock sometime this past week, dont know how or when, but its gone.

Was wondering who else has blown a shock?

I am on stock shocks and Tein S-Tech springs. I have brand new Work wheels arriving next week(), so I am upgrading to coilovers so i dont run the risk of blowing one of the other shocks and ruining a new set of wheels and my fenders (new wheels are somewhat aggressive). It's a good investment in my eyes to switch to coils and protect my major investment (wheels).

 

yes coils or f sport shocks /sping ...
ive just found out my shocks are also blown. 59k miles on my car.

 

At least 2 of my shocks were leaking when I got Tommy @Musicbox to swap in some coils - 113K miles. Might have been blown for a long time.

 

How likely is it that you would blow a shock with the f sport springs? If it does blow, would warranty cover the replacement since it was a Toyota/Lexus spring?

 

I bought my car @ around 63K with a blown rear shock - OEM springs & shocks.

The shock itself is not covered under the extended warranty.

 

you wouldn't ruin your wheels if a shock blew...

 

A few others here with a blown shock around the same mileage, interesting. Is there a "recommended" shock replacement interval? If there is I have never heard of it.

Yes, you could. My left rear dropped 2-3" or more with the shock blown. With a flush fitment and slightly stretched tires, how would your fender not do some damage to your rim? Maybe not "ruin" but your rim would not be perfect anymore I have brand new wheels, wouldn hate the slightest scratch on them.
