Unless they have changed their warranty since I got my front struts in 2012

I stand corrected sir. I didn't see anything about a warranty with the remaned....doesn't mean there wasn't one. I was in need of the new strut asap. I can't say I did full research on the matter. Thanks for the info though.

If anyone else is interested in the remanufactured air springs, JC Whitney has them from $350 each, free shipping, and then there is a 10% off coupon code I used (I believe it was "WELCOME10") which reduced the price to $315 each. They also had the rear air springs for a pretty good price, around $110 - $115 each, and the coupon worked on those as well.

EDIT: Here is a little screencap for those interested in how it all worked out; after the discounts and the core refunds, the total will end up being $833 for all 4.

Awesome info!! I wanted to start a thread to try and help out fellow guys who wanted to DIY. The air suspension can be overwhelming if you don't know what you're getting into before purchasing. I will have to be doing the rears in mine this spring. Definitely checking out JC Whitney!
