Longevity... Bilstein B6 Shocks

Greyfox · 08-21-2016, 08:38 PM

How long do these generally last?

I like the ride of the OEM shocks, but I'm thinking about something a bit heavier duty.

All depends on abuse

Generally, very little abuse. I drive 500+ miles on interstate a week.

They are warrantied by Bilstein for the entire time you own your car.
So I guess you're good forever, as long as you own it!

And I have had Bilstein send me a new front strut before...
