Default Time For New Shocks Struts?

Hey guys so i have an 05 tc and i have almost 69k miles on her. Do you think its time for new struts because i am going to but S-Techs this friday, so i was wondering if it would be good to buy new shocks and struts.

Get aftermarket struts to last longer than stock would for s-techs. Like tokico or koni.

yeah man after 69k you should just replace both struts and springs, already too much strain on the factory ones....

I have tokico HP's with S-Tech's that I'm prolly going to be selling.. Put them on the car lil over a week ago, ride is great, but decided to go with coilovers for option of going lower, and to be able to raise it up for winter.. if interested in parts, pm me..

**DO NOT BUY MONROE** they go dead after 3 months. various people in town have bought these from the local autozone and they are POS.

koni and tokico cost more but are worth it. if you just need cheap replacements then get kyb gr2 shocks.

check with your local auto shops for faster delivery. you can usually just go on their website and find out if they carry them.

i got my kyb gr2 from kragen autoparts, now named o'reily autoparts. fronts are around $120 each and rears are around $95 each.
