06 with 21,000 on it. My daily driver for 6 months now. If the shocks are bothering you, may as well replace!

like someone else mentioned, you have to be on a super flat surface when you measure. even the slightest uneveness will throw it off.

that being said, my driver's front was a bit lower before i installed my springs but after the new springs, the fronts are equal.

maybe it's your springs? you have aftermarket springs?

Look at the top of your shock absorbers. If they look "wet" or greasy, they might be leaking, then they will be starting to go.

Also you can measure the wheel wheel gap between the top of the tire and the fender and see if it is consistant between each side of the car. If they aren't leaking, and they are even height, then they are fine.

Unless of course you are looking for a reason to buy a new suspension...in which case they are totally shot.

When I picked up my 2003 with 79k miles on it the other day when I got my coils on, the guy that installed them said my rear shocks were absolutely shot. They're weren't any aftermarket suspension elements on the car before that, either. So, yes, if you're car is racking up some miles, you might need to upgrade.
