Default Full Coilover Life

In terms of mileage, what's the usual range the shocks in a full coilover set up will go for before it needs a rebuild? I realize it'll depend on the type and usage but I'm just looking for some rough estimates.

depends on CO's you buy. My TEIN FLEX's lasted ~80k before it got unbearable due to rough road conditions. I kept mine in the middle setting unless I went autox'ing.

also depends on the condition of your local roads. with any shock, including oem, the more potholes or whatever you run over the shorter the life will be.

my tein cs's seem to be getting a little weak. I'm at about 50k highway miles on them, half of which are almost undriveable from the cracks and potholes. I run mine on full hard setting all the time though. Is it worth it to have them rebuilt or should I just spend a little more for some new ones.
