i think if its lower than 1.5 inches than the warranty is voided.

coilovers also void the warranty.

If you bought them froma decent vendor, they should be able to get them replaced under warranty at no charge. I checked this with my source at Ultra Performance and they can do it.

i've heard nothing but bad things about these shocks, IMO get new ones from warranty if you can and then sell them and get something better.

okay, that's cool they worked for you, but three people I know had them and they blew within a year, just passing on info.

I was told there is something inside of the shock body that gets marked somehow since the shaft goes into the body more. Just a rumor though.

3 people you know vs the thousands that also own them. #1 they werent designed for coilovers, #2 they werent designed to drop below 1.5" from factory stance #3 if you followed those two guidlines and they still blew then you would have been able to get them exchanged for new ones.

KYB microscopically analyzes all shocks returned for waranty repair. They can tell where most of the suspension has been traveling and extrapolate from that data whether or not you've lowered your ride lower than 1.5"s.
