Don't Bilsteins have lifetime warranties anymore?

My Bilsteins on my 78 Scirocco wore out and I exchanged them at no-cost, back in the late 80s.

FYI, I have the Bilstein OEM equivalents on my 87 Syncro and have no issues.

Subject: List advice on winter repairs , shocks,

Hi folks,

I just had some prevention work done on my 84 
Coolant hoses and pipes replaced.
and it is coming back with some recommendations for me to do on my own.

What is the list thinking  on rear shocks?

Mine are leaking and are currently Bilstein.  My shop is recommending Koni set to the stiffest setting.  Not sure I spelled that correctly.

I’ve done shocks before so I’ll plan to do that.  But, any thoughts on the shocks?

One factor, my van has a GW lift put in back in 2010.  It sits tall, but not much different then my 85.
These are the GW springs. 

Tips on this work appreciated.
