Mine have been on for 70k+, and they feel great still. I don't have soft Eibachs on them though.

Guess I need to order new Koni's now...

Don't waste your time with the tokico's get some konis, I realize there more money but well worth it. My tokicos lasted maybe a year, konis last alot longer!!

I hate that type of response.

Just because your'e set went bad within a year, doesn't mean they ALL do.

My set is still running great, firm as sh*t and handles anything I can throw at it. There are many other people running Tokico struts with the same exact results.

My Tokicos are still running great with Intrax springs, probably more than 20k miles now. When things start to loosen up in the suspension, it's just other parts that can't keep up with the agressive driving and need replacements. Then when I go to purchase those parts needed, the vehicle I use feels like I'm driving a boat and sitting on 10,000 pillows.

I had Konis/Eibachs on the black car, and as far as I'm concerned that was not a happy combination; the rears were okay but the fronts had too much compression damping and never enough rebound even cranked up to full-stiff. They managed to be harsh and a bit unsettled at the same time.

The white car's got Tokicos/Eibachs and for street use at least it's a much happier setup. My Tokicos were purchased used, the fronts off eBay and the rears off a junkyard car, mileage in both cases undetermined but at least as of now they're happy.

My past experiences with Tokico products in Japanese installations has been that they're a good-quality OE shock with an 80-90K mile expected lifespan.

I recall when Konis were considered to have pretty high 'infant mortality' and a lot would go bad early; they warn you to run them in at full-soft for some period of time before playing with the rebound adjustment.
