Default bilstien shock rebuild

where do I get the information to send my bilsteins off for a rebuild?
they have lost all thier oil and are causing my car to act erraticly in corners.
I have to put on some standard shocks until they come back, but I dont know where to send them.
what is the cost.?
any info would be appreciated .

Last I checked it was $65 to rebuild one, but they don't repaint it. New you can find them just under $80 a pop. I went with new ones. You could have a custom valve with rebuild but you probably don't need that. This may still be correct:

I dont want custom valving, I just want my car to quit bouncing all over the road.

I had the front end checked today and the only problem was the shocks were covered in oil on the back side.

I found a set of four for $320 shipped.

sounds like I should just go with them by the time I ship them to bilstein and repaint them. I can have new for close to the same $$

I agree! When I was shopping around last year I found a few places at $280 for four. Easy to change them!
