Silly question but any idea what life-span coil-overs have. Do they wear out the same as any normal shocks would???

For a road car Konis are excellent get the spring rate and ride height correct and your laughing.

I run coilovers on my RS and with the correct(thats correct for me) damping and spring rate they are spot on, not harsh in the slightest except on the wallet
