I believe they have a lifetime garranty that just isn't available over the internet. They should last the life of the car when installed properly.

Depends on too many things but should be a good long time in general.

Koni's can be rebuilt by the factory. They are known to leak after a while. I'd say probably 50k and you'd want to send them out to have them looked at/rebuilt. Its slightly expensive.... but its cheaper than replacing them. I think bilsteins are the same way..

all my info is per my knowledge of Porsche's.. but im sure its the same.

Before you buy and install anything do a little research, and it should last you life time…
unless you do a lot offff road driving.

Sorry off topic, but what kind of engine tuning do you have to go along with all those mods?

We usually recommend rebuilding shocks at least every 100k.
