How Long Have You Had Your Springs For?

I'm looking to lower my G35.

Contemplating whether or not to go coilovers or springs.

My car has about 35k miles and I think I'll be fine with running springs. I drive only about 6-7k miles a year.

Any stories on blown struts?

How long have you been on springs for? Time-Frame & Miles...

Thanks

I dropped my car the first week I bought it and drove it around as a dd for about a year before the struts went out on me.

I'd suggest looking into using Z springs for the heavier spring rates... that should save some strut life.

I'm still running the original Eibach springs that were test fittted on my 07 sedan. I'm still on the original factory shocks with over 40K miles on it.
