Doing just fine at 30k but once they go time for some Konis or KW V3.

For me it seems like the OEM struts are good and also expensive enough compared to other 3rd parties.

I just wonder: Why do you prefer Konis or KW V3 to your OEMs ??

My sport struts failed around 85-90k. The nismo struts I put on to replace them had 40-60k or so (can't remember), but have gone soft at 110k, only 15k or less after I installed them.

To give you an idea of the environment I live in, I am 45 minutes away from the tail of the dragon, and you can usually find me up there once a week.
