Out of curiosity, is there a specific "lifespan" for the OEM shocks?? I've seen more than a few Forum members putting new shocks on. Is it because they are itching for that extra-sporty ride feel, or is it because their initial shocks somehow degraded over time?

I'm at 95,000 miles and I just put new brake pads and rotors on. But I have never had an issue with the shocks or ride quality.
