another koni yellow question

I have one question, someone said that they had koni yellow shocks but they had a pretty big system in the trunk and their rear shocks/ sturts kept blowing, i just wanna know did you return them to koni or the place you bought them from.
Has anyone else had any prob's with them, I need new shocks/struts really bad, and right now i dont have the money to go with tein or B&G coilover system, I have weaponR coilovers right now. with stock struts/shocks
thanks in advance

I'm guessin you have to send them back to koni cuz it's their warranty but the store might ship them to koni too but your probably gonna have to pay for shippin

I've had Koni's on with Eibach ProKit since last March and have not had a single problem. I don' have a big stereo but I have taken some long trips with luggage in the back. No problem. I'd estimate I have about 12,000 miles on them.

that was one dude with a problem that probably was related to installation. We have not heard from him since to find out what was really going on. But as for everyone else myself included. No prob

Do you guys have coilovers or springs, and did you guys have to cut anything i heard you might have to cut part of the shock/or bumper peace to fit correctly.
Thanks for your input, do you think it is better to go full body coilover or adjustable springs and diff. shocks.

why get true coilovers when you told me that teins dont drop that much. i got the money but if they dont drop much im jsut going to get b & g coilovers(2.5 drop all the way around). hey vnlilman. is there any true coilovers for our cars that drops like 2.25, 2.5 drop?

teins dont drop that low but b&gs do.. arent b&g's true coilovers.. i think so.. n ya from what i remember they drop around 3" the lowest.. dont quote me on it tho, but i know they drop low enough.

from what i hear you could get 1" shorter springs for teins.. not sure where you would get it from tho..
i dont remember any other coilovers being out for our cars
