There's so many different variables as to how long they will last, I would check them around 20k miles.

I'm kind of interested in this too. I have an F-13 with the same springs.

It depends on the cam lift and ramp rates, cold starts, highway driving or drag racing.

If youre fairly easy on teh car without beating the ***** off it at every stoplight, you could probably go 15K miles on the magic stick before checking it. The f-13 can probably go 20K to 25K before checking. After that check every 5K miles and replace when spring pressure starts to let up.

I do a lot of highway miles, and after 25K miles with a f-13, the duals were still at the spring pressures they came with.
