They must have done like 50,000 miles though. Wich i think is acceptable. Obviously having them on full hardness all the time if they are used on the road isnt going to help them. (If you do)

Click to expand... Bit of everything. Covered around 20-25k miles, few track days, 70odd laps around the ring. I also bought 10k rear springs wether that makes any difference at all.
