Default Longivity of Stock Struts?

Does anyone know how long the stock springs and shocks usually last? Assuming you do alot of driving.

Depending on the driver i would say struts can last up to any where from 30-60 thousand miles. It all depends on your drving habbits and sroundings, Springs tend not to go bad. I would go with somthing safe like I have and get TRD springs and stuts. With front and rear sway bar, then youll feel a great difference.

assuming you dont mod your suspension, i wonder if u can warranty it but i doubt it since its a normal wear and tear.

it will take years for the stock setup to go bad unless you live in a thirdworld road condition. just remember that speed bumps are there for you to slow down not for you to ignore.

So you've had the S-Techs in since 10 miles on the car?

Like everyone said it depends on how you drive. If you drive autoX then that could last for like 10K. If you just do alot of highway driving then they could go as far as 60K+.
