Quality aftermarket struts/springs - What is their useful life??

I'm seriously considering Eibach or H&R springs with Tokico Illuminas and am curious how long I can expect them to last. What kind of milage can you expect out of a quality aftermarket set of springs/struts??

Thanks guys!

I would be interested to know as well. If aftermarket springs/struts are only going to last 30 to 40K miles then I might consider a coilover package.

my assumption would be 60k for struts (just like OEM) and lifetime for springs (just like OEM)

I do know that JICs are expected to last the life of the car
