how long does OEM suspension usually last?

Using stock shocks and stock springs

Im jw because I have 70k and my suspension is still rock hard and far from bouncy.

It depends on the road conditions on which you drive.

I replaced mine at 128,000 miles with the full 350z suspension. It is much improved to say the least!

An easier way of checking is by going to one corner of the car then pushing on it. If you see it bouncing more than 2 times or noticing a lot of roll then replace.

I would say somewhere around 100 + k miles.

my shocks went at 90k and I had aftermarket springs for more than half of that time.
