Default How long do they last?

Thinking of doing a set of bilstein hd's, dms springs, and dms relocation brackets since my stock decarbons feel pretty rough after almost 60k so i'm sure they're shot by now.

Quick question, how many miles are hd's good for? Pretty much all street driving if that helps.

Thats a good question, I would like to know myself. I did some research before I bought mine but never looked into the length of time they last. I only put a few thousand miles a year on my car if even that so it wasnt a concern of mine.

Try bilsteins website or I am sure you will get some good replies here.

Bilsteins are rebuildable should they ever need it, but I've heard of them supposedly lasting 100k miles. Best shock next to Koni's I think.

Bilsteins do have a long life and are fully rebuildable. The HDs might be a bit rough for just the street though.
