Blown Koni Got the shocks about a year ago, experienced horrible wheel hop out of nowhere today when I was feeling froggy and got on it and then I look to see why and its cause I have a pretty decent puddle of oil inside the car around the driver side rear shock mount. Dont know what the hell could've happened, but its a good thing Koni's have a lifetime warranty.
Just thought I'd share, I'm pretty annoyed that one of the shocks went out so quick since its a daily driver thats seen the track less times than I have fingers.

There is nothing, NOTHING in this world that is bulletproof. You, unfortunately, happened to get a bad shock. Koni will make it right as long as you have the documentation you need and you'll be good as new.

well, lots of things have lifetime warranties. KYB does, Bilstein does, Tokico does... The difference is that Koni makes it pretty painless when there is an issue. And that in itself is much more rare than with el-cheapo shocks.

Lol I'm not worried, I know their warranty program is top notch. Just thought I'd share cause thought my experience of having one go so soon on a DD was somewhat unique and unexpected.
I didnt know Bilsteins had a similar life time warranty...thats cool.

I had a Koni go out in the first year. Call them up, give them a CC # and they ship you a new shock and charge you 1/2 the new price. I had it 3 days later. You install it and return the bad one. They check it out and if is determined not to be your fault, then they credit your CC. As Sam said, painless .
