Do Bilstein 5100's have a lifetime warranty as well?
How much stronger is the nitro steel in the Icon's? I mean, is the chrome shaft in the Bilstein's weak? or is it still good.

Yes, the BE5-6245-H5 and BE5-6246-H5 that you would run have a lifetime warranty.
The longer 6249 and 6250 are one year.
According to tests the nitro steel is approx twice as hard as chrome. Mainly an issue in regards to rock chips and pitting of the shaft.
Of course, if you run the shock boots it's not really an issue.
More of a concern in desert racing as you are throwing a lot of sand at an exposed shaft.
