Where To Get Hks Hypermax-ii Rebuilt?

Just another suspension problem but posting it here as i'm looking for somewhere in Vic (preferably Melb west) to get HKS Hypermax-II coilovers rebuilt. The front ones are starting to weep oil and one is making the dreaded knocking sound over small bumps. :P

I've done the usual searches but there's nothing about getting them rebuilt locally.

Does anyone know of any places around here and a rough cost?

not that it helps too much but i was told that the only place that fixes aftermarket suspension in Aust is a place in Qld

I think this is the place you're talking about:

I found it in a search earlier but was trying to look for a similar place locally to save on delivery times and stuffing around. If the one mentioned in Thomastown doesn't do me any good then might be safest to go with the QLD one as the post said they were only $150 each to rebuld which isn't too bad considering what a replacement would cost.

i been to Centre line heaps of times, i wouldn't expect that they can help you fix it, but they could sure as hell point you in the right direction as was said

btw steer clear of those bikies next door... they're fcukin crazy mofo's

Pedders fix JIC's so maybe a trip to those MOFO's would be worth a shot?

Aparently they can rebuid the valving to suit aussie conditions too.....

Granted I agree their off the shelf stuff is utter crap comapred to good jap adjustables IE your gear, but spend money there and youll get a good product

my 2 cents if its worth anything. Failing that speak to quadrant in Berwick, they are good blokes and deal in bilstein suspension, might be able to help or direct you

cheers Jez

    • Yeah they sure are available for import now, its great news Matt, You need an import specialist insurer, nothing has really changed over the years about the mainstream insurance companies not touching them. I have my cars with Lumley (same group as NRMA etc) because they insure imports and have a good concept of "stable use" where as long as no more than 2 cars are being driven each day you can have them all on a good rate, I've also had no issues with claims through them. Note they won't insure a car if you take it to the track, even for an off track claim. Shannons are another option but I had a lot of trouble with their claims (they were happy to take the premiums, not so keen to pay out), and I'm sure there are other import specialists too 
    • I'm a lifelong home drummer, was in a couple of bands as a teenager/early 20's then moved to Japan and didn't play at all until 2019 when my missus and I were invited to check out the band room upstairs at a restaurant cafe here in JP. They had a full acoustic drum kit and they let me have a bash for about 20 mins. I went away from there wondering how I could not play for 19 years.... Missus bought me a e-drum kit a few weeks later (Yamaha DTX402) which is basic but lets me play at home in my tiny Japanese house.  Also have an Epiphone Les Paul and little Vox amp and delay pedal I bought for the missus because she wanted to learn to play the guitar, but she never got into it. That was about 8 years ago. I taught myself to play some 80's U2 song riffs like the Fly solo, etc and some other things but being a drummer I don't really have the dexterity in the fingers lol. Ham fisted if you will. So I kind of just mess around with the guitar rather than try to seriously play complete songs. My son on the other hand inherited all my side of the family's musical talent and is a brilliant classical pianist at 16 years old. He'll go on to do something in the music industry here for sure once he finished his schooling. I got him a Yamaha NU1XA hybrid piano earlier this year.
    • If the BOV is plumbed in as mentioned, like stock.... why exactly would it stall? It'd be like stock. Do stock cars stall with stock bovs?
    • You mean a rich spike, as the air has been metered multiple times due to the turbulent air, you end up injecting more fuel causing a momentary dip in torque and quite possibly a stall event. TL;DR, install a Haltech Elite or S3 or R3, convert to DBW, throw all ancient shit into the bin and enjoy the car.
