I just went through the warranty swap with Koni and it was too easy. Just
sent them back with a copy of the original receipt ( 6 1/2 years old) and
about 10 days later a new pair of shocks showed up at my door.   I did put
a CHEAP pair of shocks on while I was waiting for my Konis, so it cost me
about $50 ($40 for the cheap shocks, $10 UPS) for a new pair of rear
shocks.  Not too shabby....
