How long did your stock struts last with lowering springs?

To the people who kept their stock struts in place after installing lowering springs, how long did they last before you were forced to install new ones like KYBs?



My struts are stock but I'm on Tein springs. I'm buying a set of KYB GR2's tomorrow since the stock struts are pretty useless now.

We have had the Tein springs on our stock struts in the GK for something like 30k miles now. They're worn out, but not actually blown yet. It has been severely underdamped the entire time though.

It was about 2 weeks before they started clanking on bumps on my 02 Accent witha 2" drop.
