Just wanted to know how long my stock struts will last me before going out when I install Ground Controls and ride at about a 2.5" drop - 3" drop??? I just need to know so I know my time limit till I get some Konis!!

not long. There are so many factors involved. the fact that you are slamming it will greatly effect the shocks. Along with how bad roads your roads are, your driving style, or if you hit something (pothole, speed bump). I doubt they will last that long. I would just get your konis before you put the GCs on.

they wont last long, expect them to blow out within a few months, if not earlier. i suggest you buy shocks as fast as you can. or dont lower your car past 2"

its very hard to even give an estimate time cause of all the variables you have to take into account..
but ya all i can say is not too long..
