What is the life span of factory springs? Also, what about the shocks and struts? And one final question, do they make improved springs that do not lower your car? I found these but they lower it 7/8" and 1/2". Is that the least amount of lowering I'll find?

Not entirely sure...it probably depends on how you drive. Anyway, I replaced my shocks/struts at about 130k.

Yeah, I bought this 90 coupe about two months ago. I was told it probably has 240k on it. There are lots of maintenance things I need to do, suspension being one. I don't notice anything terribly wrong with the suspension but better safe than sorry, especially considering the condition the ball joints and tie rod was in.

I've never had a factory spring wear out..some may break in half due to rust.......as for struts mine were still okay at 200k with okay ride quality..depends on how car was treated and maintained
