i've had Tien H-Techs for about 2 years, my rear shocks are leaking... started a few months ago. not sure if its because of the springs but i don't drive my car too hard, been to the strip once. might be from the few thousand miles with no hubcentric rings(never going back to discount tire) or might be my woofer box which is probably around 50 pounds. i'll probably be getting the D-Specs.... but i will probably only adjust it once which is a waste, Nismo S-tune suspension will fit my needs but it costs as much as decent coilovers, or i could just get a used set of stock shocks from the classifieds... choices

time isn't the biggest issue, its mileage and road conditions that they are subject to. Even on stock struts, at some point, they will need replacing, as they are a wear item.

Thanks for reply. I am thinking lower an inch all around. I just need to find a right coilover.
