Hi there !

The question that pops up in my head is if the warranty is that long because it´s neccesary ? What does it say about the shocks that you´ve been forced to change them again within a limited time ??

And what lifetime ?? The one of the shock - "we guarantee that it´s not broken as long as it works" The one of your car - "you´ll never have to change again as long as the car works" Or your - "the last shock you´ll ever buy but stick to cars where it fits " :-) :-) :-) :-)

As almost always with this kind of parts you get what you pay for ! If they are cheap they ar CHEAP And if you go with expensive stuff you get quality ! A rule with few exeptions unfortunately !!
