When to replace shocks?

critical

you should replace the shocks and springs now. i've replaced with oem shocks twice with gently used units but i should have just replaced them with konis or gone with coilovers

Op admit to yourself your just justifying so you can upgrade to coilovers! Lol
Oem shocks should last more than 60k miles unless you really have bad roads in NY.
Besides there are multiple suspension parts you need to look into such as ball joints and upper and lower control arm bushings, tie rod bushings which I think wears out faster than Oem shocks and springs.

Good to hear that they can last a while longer. I try to keep the mod bug away but it always comes back when I check to see what's new on the forum. Coilovers is just going to lead to camber arms, sway bars, etc. The roads in NYC are quite horrendous, but you develop an eye for dodging as many imperfections in the road as possible. Of course there are some where you're going to miss seeing or can't avoid. I've already had 2 rear wheels develop an inch long crack, as well as a front wheel lip being bent outwards. On top of that, the Borla catback sits only 3.25" off the ground on stock height. It's already flattened out quite a bit, so any thoughts of lowering makes it mandatory to switch out the exhaust if I don't want to scrape holes into the exhaust.
