It's an unfortunate consequence of having such a short body in the rear of the car, and even with remote reservoirs, will still cause the rear to degrade quickly.
This is shock oil from a auto-x only car, that was only driven for 2 seasons. New oil is bright amber.

Just from my rebuild service - 2 years on the car and 10k miles approximately.
Front guide shafts were worn and shaft had lateral play in the shock body. Minor, but it was present.
The rears, surprisingly were in better conditions. The shims were all in good condition. By MCS's estimate, maybe a year or two longer I could have ran the shocks - but they recommended the guide shafts replaced at that time anyways (which I obviously did)
