Title: Reconditioning shocks?
Post by: royal on August 04, 2006, 10:17:18 AM
Is it possible to recondition the Bilstein shocks on my Rx7 RSR? if so where can I do it? I think one of my front shocks is a little ropey, I can\'t feel it driving but if I push down on it its weaker than the other.

I\'d like to make these last a few months so I can look at getting a good coil-over setup later on. Thanks all

Only aftermarket ones can be rebuilt but it depends on the make etc. My Ohlins are gona be £560 to rebuild fully

That would be good mate. That\'ll give me the chance to save some pennies for a couple of months to get a better setup.

I was in the same boat, was gonna get a SET of new or second hand OE ones - thought sod it and brought some nice new coilovers - saves you spending twice! :)
