Rebuilding Coilovers

[NV N01]

Hi everyone..

I have a few sets of coilovers, I've decided to get rebuilt..

I was just wondering where people have sent or got their coilovers rebuilt in the past & how much it cost?

If it matters what Brand they are then;

2x Front pairs of JIC

1x Front pair of Teins

1x Front pair of Keioffices

1x Rear pair of Teins

1x Rear pair of Keioffices

1x Rear pair of Bilsteins

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Regards,

Sherwin

Sell them all, get new stuff hey. That is my advice from having rebuilds done myself. Maybe get the bilsteins rebuilt, the others flog them off. Let it be someone elses problem.

Sorry mate..

These are all for S13's..

I want to rebuild them so I can use them in my Sprinters..

The Rears can be used in R32s however..

That is what I want to hear..

Dude, thats where I went. Trust me when I say sell what you have, buy something new. 12months 3 of my shocks died, they have a 30 day warrenty. And low and behold they were keioffice.

Im happy for you to throw your money away, but mine were also rebuilt to suit a much softer spring which should have increased their life. I also never had the car on a track, off road, and I NEVER drifted it. They still died from normal every day road use.

I now have new bilsteins in it, and they are 100% better.

And Im not the only one.

I had 4 JICs rebuilt with KYB inserts at TSR and they were going strong for 18 months up to when i sold my car. They were a little more $$$ then mentioned above though - $200+ per corner.

If you's can't find any, I think it's like $70 postage either way for a full set?
