H-Sport RSB with NM Eng Alpha Springs - Stock Strut Replacement?

I'm going to order some NM Eng Alpha Springs and a H-Sport RSB 22mm this week.

How long will i be able to go on the stock struts? 2 Years? I have a 2013, with 12K Miles so far. I will eventually be getting Koni Yellows.

On such new struts you should be able to go thousands of miles before wearing out the struts. It's really hard to say exactly but I'd guess 50k maybe??? only time will tell.

FYI, the ride and control improved dramatically when I changed from stock struts to Koni yellows. I've got them set fairly soft, but they made a huge difference for me. I also changed to aftermarket bump stops to get a bit more travel before bottoming the shocks.

Hopefully you will enjoy your revised suspension. Keep an eye on the marketplace, used sets of yellows come up occasionally.

Have fun,
Mike
