For that price you should be getting all 4. If you're willing to spend that much, now would be the time to upgrade to Koni Adjustables.

I know with the Bilsteins, you can send them back to Bilstein USA for rebuild. What about the Konis??

Koni's have a lifetime warranty. I've never had to use the warranty though.
