on stock springs that is... someone is posting stock shocks for sale wit 3000 miles on them.. how much do you think there worth? also was wondering how much do stock shocks cost? worth getting if under 200? i was going to put spoon springs on stock shocks.. how long do you the shocks would last? mostly street driving, autox here and there when i get the chance!

 

I don't know about stock ITR shocks but my cousin had to replace his shocks after 4 months of it being lowered. He drives pretty aggressive and the roads are **** in Vancouver.

 

hmm.. ic ic.. george knighton.. where you at? care to give your 2 cents.. you've helped me before.. i need you again!

 

hmm.. i need some more suggestions on what to do.. anybody?

 

Everyone is sleeping, man...
I've heard they should last 70000 miles... under normal use.

 

That probably doesn't count since he was using mismatched shocks/springs

 

lol.. i kno everyones sleeping! just messin around... its just so tempting.. those springs are staring at me!!!!!

 

Try me yo the road in Vancouver is the Best.

 

do you think i should go for the stock shocks wit 3000 miles on the for under 200???

 

Not to sound like an *** but you have a 2001 ITR? How many miles are on you car that you need to buy new struts? Stock should last 60,000 miles on all stock. For under $200 for faily new that's not bads. Have you already purchased the springs?

 

The accelerated wear of his shocks is due only to his excessive lowering of the car.

 

The roads in Vancouver are actually really good compared to other cities.

 

i bought my stock ITR springs/shocks for 205 shipped w/ 5K miles

there are always some people who ask for a little, and some who ask for a lot.

good luck!

 

thanks george... i bought the spoon progressives there just sittin here collectin dust.. my stock shocks are blown... so i need to get new ones!!

 

I have 52k miles on my stock shocks and springs. They still work perfectly.....

Cheese~

 

Well, I don't think there is any scientific proof, but shocks will start to wear out after ~25,000mi.

Sure, it'll work, but it won't be like when it was brand new.... just like any wear item.

I believe Yoshi once quoted an engineer as saying that stock shocks start to loose its optimal performance level at around 15,000mi... and it's all down hill from there. Of course, wear will depend on driving habit, road conditions, etc.

IMO, 50k should be a realistic goal for stock shocks. I wonder if there's any data...

 

data? well, i ahve 93k on stock shocks/springs wif mugen 26 rear... and my car handles like poo these days. oh wait, it's handled like poo for at least 40k miles.

 

D -- we'll set you up w/shocks before you leave PGH.

 

Yeah, we'll hook you up w/ new shocks before '03 Expo. Dang it, I had a set a few months ago that you could've had for cheap.

 

Nice.......... i still have to find someone to rebuild/convert those bitches. damn shocktek going out of business...

D

 

At this point, just put them on and see how they work.
And, devise some limit straps for the rear (that's the main problem).

 

nod.
