The OP asked "how much more life"...
I've yet to come across a customer who's eager to replace shocks before they've reached their end of life (leaking cylinder, etc). People who are replacing their shocks at 40k miles because the ride doesn't feel as tight as it once did are definitely in the 1%.
If you're looking to upgrade, fine. But those shocks still have a significant amount of life left in them. |
40k does sound early to me. However I will tell you from first hand experience, as will anyone else who has done the work, the rear 704 shocks are done at 50k. I replaced mine with B6's at 55k and they had 0 rebound left, nearly compressing under their own weight. My fronts are soon to be replaced climbing towards 65.
Not a shot in hell the stock 704 shocks last until 200,000km.
