100K mile life expectancy is pretty standard for the rear shocks. The front struts seem to last a lot longer but it may be that the deterioration of the front struts is just less noticeable than that of the rear shocksthey really don't last as long as we think.
At 290K miles I am on my fourth pair of rear shocks (third replacement set) and second pair of front struts (first replacements).
