    How many miles should you get out of Bilsteins?

    Just curious because I think they are getting a little sloppy in the front on hard braking. How many miles should I get out of them?

    Thx

    I'm thinking at very least 60k

    Koni's come with a lifetime warranty =)
    I have about 80k on mine, they still seem strong

    Must have been my tires then. Just put new ones on and old ones had tons of inner wear from camber. Means I gotta get an alignment too..

    Haven't had em replaced so I'm not sure, but it says lifetime guarantee... so I'm sure it is something like mail yours in w/ proof of purchase then wait... best to talk to whichever dealer you bought them from

    Contact them directly or the place you bought them. It may be an issue if you bought them from a non-authorized dealer though. Like if you got them on ebay they may not cover it. But I am sure on their site they have a "contact us" section and a warranty link...
