PSS9 longevity?

Before i fork out 2+ on this setup, how long are the coilovers supposed to last? Would i still want to add sways for that extra stiffness? Thanks guys!

they should last a few years without blowing any valves or seals.
as far as whether you need sways, it all relevant to what model you have (tt, 2wd,4wd), what type of driving you will be doing.

It's a real ***** to ship them back across the pond...not to mention the shipping prices!
Shocks last as long as the type of driving/damping, it sees! Potholes in this BIG APPLE wreak havoc on them...and tires/wheels. Especially, with my fast and furious yourger Michael Schumachers aboard!
Clients that are easy on the cars will see several years/or more on a set of shocks. havefundriveporschetakechances-Mark-F.M.

Bilstein gas pressure shocks generally last a long time. I've had some on Mercedes for over 10 years and 100k miles.

It all depends on how you drive and the conditions!
