Having no dust boots, they would indeed be less weather proof than OEM shocks. Typical street only use could be 4-8 years between rebuilds.
For frequent or only motorsports use, 100hrs is typical. We would not recommend Xidas for extended winter use on salted roads. That destroys everything under the car, including your fancy shocks.
Know that even amateur level racers at the national level (winning national championships) will usually rebuild shocks between 20-50hrs. Pro teams rebuild pretty much every race weekend.
If a shock begins to leak, makes new noises or loses damping, it should be rebuilt regardless of age.
All Xidas have a standard one year warranty. Our authorized service center is Inertia Laboratory in Austin , TX. Typical turnaround for rebuilds is 2-3 days. Contact Inertia for service rates.
