How long will stock struts hold with Maxspeeds on.

I don't got that much cash right now, so I was wondering how long can I keep the Maxspeeds on before my stock struts turn into crap.

not very long; Maxspeeds are pretty aggressively wound. I'd say maybe a month.

doh, I meant to include that, if you have normal mileage (over 50k) on that suspension, that is how I am gauging it.

can't really say for certain, I have had mine on since Feb and am having NO problems...it matters more cause few people have had them more than a year...so some have had stock suspension go out right away, some like me had nothing yet, and others may never have issues...you cannot honestly project something like this with such a recent addition to the aftermarket for our cars...but they ride nice, mind you.

if this helps i had 60,000 miles on my struts when i put H&R's on and they lasted a year and a half until the car was stolen. and everyone said maybe a month to me as well. so i went from 60,000 miles to 84,000 on stock struts.
