I wasn't planning on just dropping them on when the time came. I'll probably take them up to a shop just for warranty purposes and pay the 50 or $80 to just have them looked at. if they need to do a couple things for another fifty bucks or something I'm not going to get bent out but if they're talkin they need to put a few hundred dollars into them then I'm sending them back.... The paperwork says that they have to be checked out before you use them... Thye do come with a one-year warranty... Not living and dying on that but doing my part..
