Default My Shocks keep blowing...wtf..what gives

Well here's the problem.
I tightened my struts to firm, and then loosened em to soft about a week later...but then after 2 days or so they gave out...now Im bouncing like a caddy.
This is the second pair I've bought, and the second time this has happened.
The first pair did the same thing.
what Give's...is it the struts?
is there another way of tightening them...?
I checked the koni site and it give instructions on how to adjust..only..I don't believe the instructions are for my particular model struts...
Can I get em fixed..?
anything...

Wow something is seriously wrong, even on the lowest perch these shouldn't blow like that. I would turn them in for warranty again and talk them as well.
