Default RSR Superdown and shock life?

Those of you with the Superdown springs, specifically on a F Sport, what kind of shock life are you seeing after installing them. Whether you installed new ones with the springs or on the existing shocks, just curious if there's been some pretty early failures or not being the drop so extreme.

I am actually wondering the same thing. I am going with the RSR downs, which I know isn't as drastic of a drop as super downs but still want to know how much life to expect on the stock strunts.

I recently installed coilovers on my ‘16 with 43k miles. When I took out the OEM shocks 2/4 were leaking. So it will really depend on your luck. I would suggest replacing the shock and or with coils.

I don’t think it’s about luck. Super Downs are too low for factory shocks.
