Default Stock Springs and Struts

How long will the stock ones last under normal daily driving? (no mods, no drop, no racing) Anyone with personal experience?

The springs are supposed to last for the life of the car I believe.

That is what I thought, but you guys aren't helping here lol:fawk: I want to get some new springs and struts (and a long overdue drop), but I was going to wait till they went out first...........it would be a much easier sale with the wife. haha Guess I am going to have to come at her from a different angle and convince her it will be safer this way.

Are you wipped? Just tell her the car will get better gas milage dropped cause it will be effected less by wind resistance and the air particles will accelerate you as they go over the top of the car instead of under it (like the wing of a plane)

Tell her if she's gonna tell you what you can and cant do with your car you're gonna tell her what she can and cant wear. Of course she cant wear any underwear and can only wear see-through clothing.

Actually, just spend the money, drop your car, and get it done in a day. What's she gonna do when she comes home? Take it off?
