depends on there current mileage, if they are fairly new they will last a while if they already have a bunch of miles on them then they may not last very long.

after changing springs the old shocks will have about 50% less life than before
some members in HK change the springs and after about 1 year then need to change the shocks
most of them are 2004 cars at 35000km before changing springs
so the shocks will ware out fast
