on my first setup, i bought the used shockwaves from a buddy that had a little over 2 years on them. i proceeded to run them for another year before switching to cups and bags. as long as the valving is set correctly, not too soft, not too stiff, and you dont beat on the setup, like put 200 psi into them, then they should remain trouble free for many thousand miles.
perhaps Tony has an accurate "mileage life expectancy"

I never thought about that. Good question. I'd like to know the answer to this too.

I know the units are rebulidable, how much is it to replace one of the double adjustable shock pieces?

I went through 5 shockwaves in about as many months. The setup apparently is critical. If memory serves correctly, it was about 200 to have one "rebuilt".
