I would guess that wildly differs depending on what setup you're comparing to which coilover option.
My guess is the Bilstein/Eibach setup is no worse than stock for durability. That said, people tend to drive on suspensions long after their useful life is completed (25k-40k miles), so it also depends on how you define that.
I replaced my setup at 50k, and I think it was long overdue.
