My 2002 S4 has 105k on the stock K03's, very well kept car though and mostly stock...running super strong still. <knocks on wood>
My buddy has 145k on his 2.7T A6 after going to K04's at 40K and he drives the **** out of that car...if that helps at all.

My 2000 S4 is all stock except for Stasis brake upgrade, with 160K+ on the K03's.
Last winter when the temp got down to -5 degrees I ahd a problem with blue smoke from the exhaust for about 2 minutes. So I suspect the seals couldn't handle the shrinkage at that low temp. So I'm wondering how long they will last.
I actually had taken off the only mod I think was on this car. It had Tein springs all around, but the original owner lived in NYC and didn't have a 30 degree driveway to contend with. I got stock S4 springs with only 70K on them and now my drivway isn't a headache with 2" of extra clearance. The Teins are on the parts shelf for now.
