not necessarily... ive been on supersports for about 40,000 miles, and my shocks are still fine...
Right? The super sports I'm now on used to be on my buddies GTI. I drive my car hard, very hard. He's probably the only person I know that beats on his car harder than I do.:lol:
He put them on with stock shocks at 25k. He took them off at ~85k after 2 winters and numerous autox's, 1/4 mile runs, crappy IL roads, clutch drops (wheelhop), and just driving hard on the street overall. He's now on the stock 06/07 springs again and getting FK Highsports eventually. Still has the same shocks and honestly, his car still road fine and wasn't bouncy. Maybe they took a beating to an extent, but not too noticeable.
I didn't say they would blow....I just said that the ride quality will degrade
The ride quality isn't going to be "on par" as if it were matched up to a aftermarket damper (Konis/Bilsteins/etc.)
I'd say the ride quality would be worse. Not worse as in a bad thing. Just stiffer which would give you better handling.
