It's like a 650 mile round trip for me. I'm kinda thinking about it. If I could get a passenger to go with me I probably will

If yer talkin stock struts on a 97-03 GP, I'd have to say 180K on fronts (including mounts) before they become noisy with normal usage. Over 200K on rears. But after the originals have 50K or more, ride quality definitely declines although not too fast. Anything over 100K is hurting your ride quality for sure. Handling probably begins to suffer much sooner. Just my opinion.

If yer talkin ride height as far as maybe using old springs for lowering ... i probably have some pics that show how much sag after how many miles, from about 120-200K. Rears sag first for sure.

I'm at 72k and my roads are horrrrible I think I am beginning to feel a decline and obviously if I get new struts I'll get adjustables and go low on ssc springs. Along with mount spacers so it's done right obviously but I assume that can probably wait till next summer

[idrivejunk]

yeah its wierd, with struts its harder to say when "its bad" than with shocks. A major downfall of front wheel drive is the ride, thats one reason I keep a full framer. At 72K you aren't getting posh ride quality but I don't think the OE struts will give you any real trouble before you get to em next year.
