ok i am istalling my s techs on saturday and was wondering how my stock struts will hold up, i have 18,000 miles on them already, i know half the ppl on here have them so let me know

 

you had no drop before? I would say another 15k miles untill you would start to feel them getting harsh. Shouldnt hurt you much, but i would save up for the future. I was on Hotchkis springs for around 12k miles i think untill i upgraded to TRD shocks. Many others are still on stock shocks with a drop like stechs with no problems.

 

IF you have the ducket$, do them both now. It will save you in the long run. Also, it depends on the conditons of your local roads.

 

ive had them just not the time to install till this weekend

 

so i should be good for a while

 

i'd upgrade now so you don't have to do double the labor

 

i've been on my stock struts for a while now. probably about 10k miles. rides not terrible but if you have money, pick up some new struts too. and as don said, you won't have to do double labor

 

it really depends on how the roads are in your area, and how you drive.

lots of people are like "yeah, i've had them for XXk miles and my struts are fine!"

but some people blew their stock struts right away.

do the struts at the same time, you'll get better response in your handling and not have an unpredictable blow out at some point in the future.
