I know it depends alot on how (and where) you drive, but are there any opinions on how many miles a set of Bilsteins is likely to last? Mine are the factory (Y2Y) originals, 3 years old, and 60K miles. They feel like they're shot to me, though I haven't driven them all that hard, other than an occasional romp down Spicewood Springs (a great drive here in Austin).

As for replacements, I've heard good things about KYB's, and they're cheaper. Once again, any opinions?

Thanks.

I thought Bilsteins have a life time guarantee. Or is that just the after market ones?

I'll see what (or who) I can turn up to help answer the question.

Our warranty is for 36months/36000 miles. We've tested them for longer than that with no problem. Ultimate failure - don't really know.
