Tein Coilover Reliability

My friend is able to hook me up with tein basic/ss coilovers for a tl. I was wondering if they last? I live in corona and you guys know how crappy the roads can be when not paved for half a century. And i commute 70 miles a day to irvine. I really dont want these coilover shocks to die out on me within like 40k miles when i spend a few hundred dollars on them.

So my questions is, for those of you with tein coilovers, do you guys have any problems with it leaking for breaking and how long have you had it?

Thanks in advance

Mike

Thanks guys. I just talked to my friend and he was telling me tein test their products and claim the coilovers will last 48k of TRACK use without overhaul. I higly doubt this but at least its comforting to know that they at least last for a while
