No complaints on my end either so far. Seems to be pretty good!

Doesn't swapping springs only just blow out the stock shocks faster?

It seems the more I think about this, the less it really makes sense - just saying aftermarket springs blow out struts faster is overly simplistic. For example, coilovers are adjustable up and down but the actual strut does not change in length. Consequently, putting the coilover to (for example) max low would cause the spring to be "shorter" and in essence would achieve the same effect as putting shorter length springs on a stock strut. Historically, the main reason that aftermarket springs on stock struts cause the strut to blow out quicker is because the aftermarket spring is stiffer than the stock spring and does not match the dampening of the strut. From what I have seen, the stock struts/shocks on the F8X are actually quite potent and can support a large range of dampening . Consequently, I think in this particular instance as long as the manufacturer doesn't deviate too far from the stock spring rates, the struts should not suffer much/at all from the aftermarket springs. Based on people's feedback so far, I think simply installing a set of springs is a viable option on the F8X, whereas on the E9X, springs alone made the ride awful.
