 These should last for years. If they start to sag then just pop them
out and go and get them re pressurised at your local gas strut supplier.
I just had ZK-UBD's done last week and it cost me USD12 to get the pair
repressurised. 

As for the landing hydraulics I haven't noticed any difference in
landing quality over several hundred landings (and a 'few' bounces
thrown in for practice)... except for the fact that the pilot has
improved his landing ability a bit over the past six years!
