how long do coilovers last

how long do coilovers last without blowing if my freeways are pretty uneven and bumpy and I have to go through a lot of dips and bumps and what not?

Re: how long do coilovers last

i think its a legit question. Ive heard of guys having their coilovers blow after 25000km but ive also heard of some lasting like more than 50 000miles

good quality should last over 50k miles. but it depends i guess, you kindof need to take care of them like slow down for big dips and such

Re: how long do coilovers last

I was looking to lower my 00 civic ex about 1.5"-2". I'm running on stock suspension at 135k, I think it's a waste if I were to spend $600+ on coilovers that only last 50k. I plan on getting a lightly used b16a2 engine and tranny so I want my car to last. Why does cheap stock suspension last so long, but expensive suspension parts only last 50k?
