C5/6 Coilover rebuilding, how long did you wait for Bilstien West????................
I have a set of coilover's that need to be rebuilt
they have a DOM of 2006, about 10k miles, noticed some oil.....which I assume must have leaked nitrogen
Any other option besides Bilstien West?? about 90/shock for rebuild/charge/oil
Thanks very much

Do you know a web primer on how to change shock oil and do thing like put new oring seals in etc... I think there is a special way to "bleed" the shock cansister or something like that when refilling shocks. Do you know a place to get shock parts like shaft wipers etc.?

I have been dealing with them for many many years. My wife and I stopped in one day for a visit this August.
Their lead times vary with work load. Normally a week or two. In the spring they are crazy busy with last minute racers. They also have a expedite service to have them done in 3 or less days, for 25ish more a shock. Overall I have been happy with their service out there. They will be getting faster and faster as their trick new work stations get the final setup!!!
Yes I'm the ugly one in the picture
