i have an 2001 r/t lowered on goldlines with stock struts...
i put the lowering springs on with 130 000km on the stock struts and now they are blown (has only been a few months)...the ride is shit now...
i can get a set of used r/t struts with around 20000km on them for 150 bucks...
my question is how long realistically would these last...cause, well look at my sig...my car is pretty low lol i dont want them to blow in 2 weeks
thanks

It's not like theres a magic number of weeks, it's more about how you drive.

Tokico blues are actually warrantied and designed for dropped vehicles. I thinks they warranty up to 1.5-1.75in drop. So yes, you would be fine with them.
