          1000K is a lot of miles. Unless you mean 1000 km.

                              well if you bought them new, you can always talk to the company you bought them from or go direct to Bilstein (though you will still need proof of purchase). Of course you will be with a car without rear suspension, but they do stand behind their product. and I could be wrong, but the fronts have internal bumpstops, but the rears do not, so you have to reuse yours, cut down for how much of a drop you have.
