Another data point on Konis. One of the rear shocks is faulty. It's apparent when jacking up the car, with every pump of the jack the wheel hits the pavement with a thump. Typically you don't hear a wheel make a sound when jacking up a car. When I was turning up the rebound to two full turns, I also noticed hissing noises inside. I presume it wasn't blead correctly at the factory or some internal seal failed and there is air in the damper.
Koni does offer an advance shock replacement, so you don't have to send the shock in right away; You pay 50% of MSRP and you get it back when you return your shock. I guess you have to be certain it's shot. I'm waiting to see how good this warranty service is. I tried calling this in on Friday and there wasn't anyone there so I submitted a claim via email. I got a call back on Monday afternnon, paid up and the shock is supposed to ship my way on Tuesday.
