How long will Tokico D-spec/HP last with S techs

I've been searching hi and low for this (inside and outside of g35driver) and I can't find anything that satisfies me. I currently have g35 stechs with stocks shocks and am going to upgrade to tokico d-specs or hp's. I noticed that the compression from the stechs caused the stock shocks to wear FAST. Does anyone currently have the d-spec/stech or hp/stech setup and have you had any problems with wear? I don't want to install this and then have to do it all over again in a year.

Thanks for any and all help!

As long as you don't lower more than 1.5", they are guaranteed for life.

they will be fine, they will last way longer than stock shocks, these are the usual replacements that everyone puts on them if they are dropped on springs

From my warranty card:

2. Exclusion from Warranty Coverage.The warranty does not apply outside of the United states and Canada or to any units which (1) have been improperly installed or installed on vehicles for which they were not designed, (2) have been modified, altered or subjected to misuse, negligence or accident on the vehicle on which installed, (3) are operated commercially, off-the-highway or for racing or (4) installed on EXCESSIVELY LOWERED VEHICLES.
I wouldn't call 1.5" excessive.

you will be able to tell, no doubt about it. Handling will suck compared to what you were used to. Ride will be much more rough as well.

thanks INF, THMotorsports has them listed for 295 for hp's and 509 for the d-specs. Not sure about the hp's but that is damn good price for d-specs.
