I'm at 63 Kmi and am still happy with the stock dampers. I know what tired dampers feel like and I've heard others complain about how short-lived theirs were. No idea if/what I'm doing that's so special.

Yeah, I don't know that mine are beat down yet. They've always felt good.. for the street at least. Certainly there's added wear since I've been on lowering springs for the last 35K miles, but I would expect them to hold up considering that I've got 70-80% highway miles. I can tell you right now that my old civic has some TIRED dampers LOL. Probably more like dead dampers, but that vehicle will be replaced in the next couple months so I've been holding out on that.

"This issue is likely damping related. The PP dampers do this a little bit, but more so when they start to wear."
I was going to say this... I think it's your shocks are not good enough.
