A car daily driven in LA with 5-8 track days a year will incur a ton of miles for me

There isn't a timeline and expected date range of suspension component life as there are vastly many scenarios and habits of each driver and the car. for the usual LA roads that I drive, I usually rebuild or replace shocks about every 25,000 miles as soon as degradation is apparent, but not completely failed by any means. Sooner any mechanical issue is addressed the more time you can drive optimally and less costly most repairs get in any device, right?
RS*R can rebuild most modern shocks, but if the design is outdated, they will likely suggest you replace them for a little more money as they would want you on the latest specs. It's sort of like working with a PC in performance world of cars. Specifically for shocks and bushings, it is much more time and cost effective to replace it as it is a constantly moving metal parts and things can wear and deteriorate somewhat beyond the ability to return to original specs even with a fresh rebuild. Things wear, score, distort over time by microscopic levels that really do affect prolonged performance retention.
So yeah, I am not as expertly as I'd like to be on this so it's probably best to just contact RS*R USA and talk to Ben, to see what the best solution is. He is not a salesman as much as a guy at Best Buy, RS*R is a company that values personal buying and long relations, for smaller market that appreciates that, and will point you not for maximizing of profit but to cater to you so that you will stick around as a loyal customer. This is why I do lots of business with them, and trust and give feedback to their products.
