Default koni yellows and h&r race springs.. how long has it last?

just curious to see how long this setup has lasted for those who have/had it. any problems with the spring being too stiff for the shock or having it bottom out? i dont wanna end up getting koni yellow's and having them blow on me because of the springs being too stiff.

i've already read the archived threads. i just wanna make sure no one has any problems with it blowing out. i've already read about people riding on the bump stops or something. i just wanna get more input on it.

You will be fine. The Koni lifetime warranty will protect you as long as you have more than 1 inch of bump stop in place. Just make sure you are purchasing new shocks from an authorized dealer, and you won't have anything to wory about. The damping adjustment range of the yellows is huge, and will easily out pace those springs...

Good luck..
