Those of you with SPRINGS--how are your stock shocks holding up?

I know everybody's driving conditions are different, but how have the drop w/ stock shocks been holding up for you guys? I am curious because I intend to have COILOVERS down the line--but at this time can only afford Springs... with normal driving conditions (ie: no off roading ) will the shocks last for YEARS?

Thanks!

The spring rates on most of the lowering springs made for the G is pretty
low...so I think you'll get at least 25K-30K miles off your stock shocks
if used as a daily driver.

the damp rate on my 04's stock struts were too soft imo for my
use so got the DSpecs... night/day improvement over stock struts.
Now my coupe doesn't feel like some Maxima or some regular sedan.
