Default question on shocks (might be dumb but at least I searhced)

Planning to get Tokico Spec D's. Will leaving it on a harder setting make it not last as long as on a softer setting? thanks!

no one knows if it will shorten the life of the shock if it is in the hardest setting?

The life of a strut is tied to many factors - road conditions, your tire choice and air pressure, the spring they are mated to, etc. I don't think anyone has had any of the aftermarket struts long enough to know what the life expectency would be
