Just wondering, by you guys experience, do you think the SE sport struts and shocks are durable?

They seem fine to me....pretty stiff, but I would not mind something a bit stiffer.

The thing is that the SE will probably not have the easiest life, God knows that mine doesn't. There are probably better performing units out there.

They seem to remain very stiff for some time. I want to buy something that lasts forever just for a peace of mind.

Durable enough to last a long time with my Eibachs.

You still think I'm mad at you?

Hey??

I have 31k miles on my stock shocks do you guys think I should change them. If I chage them what is the best. I can't lower my car here due to hella speed bumps at the mall.

I must say the car dosen't feel as stiff as it did before.

Tokico's will work... I'll be trying a full install with the Koni's pretty soon, so I'll update you on the situation.

Yup. Think about it this way... Cattman uses struts that aren't even available for our cars, so my theory is that it won't matter too much. I might be wrong, but the difference might be unnoticeable.
