55k miles-- do I need new shocks?
My ride quality feels like it sucks compared to the way it used to feel, and it seems bouncier than it used to be. I'm at 55k... what do you guys think the likelihood is that it's time for new shocks? How long should one be able to last on OEM suspension? Thanks!

i just got my sport OEM suspension with 80k miles on it changed over to Tokico D-Spec & Eibach Pro Kit springs setup. very happy with the results. DEFINITELY worth it. OEM setup is much more wobbly in comparison. see pics and review: https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-suspension/158524-tokico-d-spec-eibach-pro-kit-sedan-review-pics-54k-maybe.html

It depends on how sensitive you are to what the car is doing. Usually anything over 20,000 you can start to see some change. Do they really need changing probably not, but you are the only one that can determine that, unless they are just flat wore out, or damaged, leaking etc.
