With the Eibach Pro-kit & not too much of a drop, they should last a very long time. However, if you drive around with them on full stiff, you will shorten the life-span.

If you running higher spring rates, they'll wear out faster. I'm running Ground Controls with my Konis - 400 Front, 550 Rear & I'll probably be getting a revavle sometime in 2005

I believe they also come with a lifetime warranty. Limited of course.

typically you get the shock revalved to handle a stiffer spring rate, which koni won't warranty.
