Default How Many Miles...

I'm wondering how many miles people are getting out of their OEM struts & shocks after putting lowering springs on them...

I just had mine put on and I want to know how soon I'm going to have to purchase some Bilstein's or Koni's...

Also are the KYB GR2's any good?

OP: KYB gr2's are OEM replacements - no performance valving.

Go Koni Yellow or another quality adjustable shock. Anything lesser is just a waste if you have increased spring rates.
