being a nissan tech for the past 6 years, i have seen my fair share of STOCK suspensions fail. i would say on average a set of stock shocks, driven daily on average terrain, anywhere from 120-150k miles. now i would expect the life of a coilover to last a bit longer than stock suspension due to all the technology and valving/dampening. but at the same time, most coilovers are put to the test when adjusted super low and driven on that same terrain. i would like to say before a rebuild is needed, on a daily that is not driven hard, easy 100-150k miles.

yeah your coils will easily last the life of the car. like i told you in the PM, just check up on your dust covers every once in a while to make sure the rubber isnt rotting out. fastest way to kill a shock is with dirt and debris. i say stick with the BC's if youre happy with them
