So just out of curiousity

what is the average mileage all you guys are getting out of your rear S02's?

Mine SHOULD have been replaced around 9500 miles. I did replace them at 11,000 miles after a spin out on I-95. Good thing that cement barrier was there to take the abuse of my front & rear bumpers, headlights, tailight, and rear quarter panel.

10k

though it was kind of fun at the end. Could throw the tail around with abandon.

Rain... please don't rain!

Feels like a new car with fresh OEM SO2's. No advise on finding them though. Bought these as takeoffs from a wheel upgrader.

With lots and lots of highway driving and some fun twisties(no track days) it got approximately 15-18,000 out of my rears!

Mine were shot at 9400 miles with half a dozen autocrosses on them, plus lots of spirited driving.

I love it,
my only complaint is that its a pain keeping the 295's on the back from spinning while its dry , and in the rain it gets scary (it will break loose in 4th)

other than that it's a wonderfully fun car

(i am not normally an American car guy, let alone a Ford man, but i am impressed thus far)

I still have the OEM S02's after 11 months and 29K miles. I am planning on replacing the rears in a few weeks. (All freeway miles)

I just replaced my rears with 15,000 miles on them. They were getting pretty slippery and anticipating the rainy season, I didn't want to try and stretch any further. Most of miles are freeway also. I am truly amazed that anyone could get 29k, as I don't push them that hard.
