i loved em while i had em, the stance is pretty low, and you will eventually wear our your shocks pre-maturey. It just depends on how you drive when they'll go.

Options: you can get after market shocks, but for the price, you might what to consider an entry level coilover system.

I should still have a pic somewhere with my old s-tech set up... ill post when i get a chance

How many miles do you guys think the stock struts go at? I've only got mine on for a few hundred miles but I've been driving it pretty hard and the pot holes near my area are horrible.

like i said, it depends on alot of things.
ive seen them go as early as 5K and ive seen people going on 50 or 60K with no problems.

youll be able to tell when theyre blown, you can still drive on them it will just be rougher and more annoying.

id suggest just buying coilovers or aftermarket struts and getting it over with so you dont have to worry about anything.
