Question about your Swifts/stock shocks

Hey guys, I know there are a million threads dealing with "will my stock shocks blow with Swift springs," and a lot of people have said they've had them on for "awhile" with no problems, but never specify what "awhile" is. So, my question is, how many miles do you guys have on your stock shocks with the swift springs, and what kind of driving does your car go through? I posted this over in suspension, but I got a measly 2 responses, and I know a LOT more than that have this setup, so I figured I'd post it in a little higher traffic area. This will really be a huge help to me in deciding whether or not to get these.

I think this thread will get moved, but i have have my Hotchkis springs with my stock shocks for 30K and 2+years. No problems to date, just spirited driving at times on the road, no track days and no drag racing. Evo has 68K on it now...

Just to help you out a bit. I've had mine for over 4k (6k on my Odometer). Can handles great with a rear swaybar. Ride is comfortable and my shocks seems to be holding so far.

Let me know if you have any other question.
