    I'm pretty sure warranty does not cover the valving/seals. The warranty only covers physical (non accidental) damage, such as a bent shaft or a cracked housing, etc.

    This is pretty universal for most damper manufacturers. Albeit I have no experience, I also hear dealing with Koni is an awful experience.

            It wasn't the Koni's fault even though you're fond of pointing that out. He wasn't running any bump stops.

                Bump stop or no bump stop, still would blow out. You and I both know that.

                  You're too harsh about them. I've got lots of customers with lots of track days and miles on their Konis with no problems. Depends on which ones you use.

                    I returned older VW oni's and they swapped them for neu ones without an issue.
