Bump for you.
How do you know the fronts are blown, are they leaking? I've had my Konis for over 40K now with a number of different springs over them, wondering how to tell when they do go bad.

I see some what looks like oily deposit around the top, and they don't seem to return fully. Difficult to check the return if yours are on the car, but take a wipe around the insert top and see if what comes off seems oily or just regular dirt.

By return you mean rebound upwards after they are compressed? I don't think the Konis do that by design since they are not gas charged, mine never did. Oil residue is another thing though.
