Just wondering if there are any tell tale signs of worn shocks, like uneven tire wear or alignment problems? Any and all comments welcome..

I didn't notice any of the problems you mentioned while riding on stock struts with Eibachs.

I have 12,000 on my 2000 Max SE. Ive had the Eibachs on since day 2 of having the car. Ive had no problems at all. Im going to wait a little longer to install some aftermarket shocks.

Nope, no problems on the stock struts w/the Eibachs, just sometimes harsh "bounch" on uneven roads. Seems like from what you guys are saying, the stock struts can last mayber another 20,000 miles?

"I put on Eibachs at 10K miles with stock shocks...I put on Tokico struts at 42K miles...replaced stock Potenzas for BFG Comp TA ZR's at 40K miles...and soon to replace Tokicos with KYB AGX's...
