Default H&R Coilovers Warranty?

Looks like I have a leak on my right front. Anybody out there know any warranty information on them? Any chance there's a lifetime warranty? (cue the laughter)
Once it starts leaking, how long do I have before failure? Replacement my best option? Do I need to replace both fronts at the same time or can I swap one without a negative effect on the front end?

Default Did you buy them from AWE? If not why would you expect them to do anything about it?

H&R have a strict policy about warranty work going through the original place purchased and for the original owner only....

Default FYI, I have a front shock from an H&R street used for a few hundred miles.....I replaced it.....

thinking that I had a bad shock - turns out my noise was something else. Anyway, the shock is sitting my basement - it was $250 new - would entertain offers if you can't get it covered (H&R was a PITA when I called, they told me they had no shocks in stock and would break up a kit....my reseller who I bought from got it for me right away)

Default I may take you up on that.

Let me do a little more research and see what I can find out.
