It’s the trade off between durability and performance. They’re assembled with ultra-low friction seals and lack protection on the piston rods, so eventually dirt is gonna get in there and wear things out. Might be worth asking the OP how his is holding up. Rebuilds aren’t expensive and the turnaround is quick. I put less than 15K miles on my car when I drove it every day for the first 1.5 years, so. Since it’s a second car it’s never leaving the house.

Update for my timeline: coilovers going on on 14 Oct and just a few days later they’re on track. I would have preferred to install them soon, but I can’t get away from work.
