It depends on many things: how bad the roads are, how the car is driven, how low the car is, etc, etc. It is really hard to say, but they will fail considerably earlier than an aftermarket shock. The least you could do is install some KYB GR-2 shocks. They will last longer and give a much smoother ride for relatively cheap.
