Steps:

2) Put shocks in a box
3) Make a choice, stock revalve or Morrocca
4) Write a letter, state what you want and your retuurn address
5) Put letter in box
6) Drop box off at UPS/FED EX
7) Wait 3 weeks for return phone call
8) Give credit card number to cover cost and return shipping
9) Get shocks back and reinstall

Thanks for the reply Jeff. But where do I send them to? I heard it only costs $50 per shock. Any experience with pricing?
I'll dig the address up for you. I definately recomend the Morrocca revalve if you do any performance driving.

I called a few days ago and talked to Raul in the Tech Dept and he indicated that the rebuild cost ranges from $55 - $100 depending on what they have to replace.
Raul said that they come back looking new.
What is the Morrocca revalve?

My shocks REALLY need some attention.. I know for a fact one is leaking, one is only about 15,000 miles old, and who knows about the other two... :crazy:
Now, if i can scrounge up $400... :blueangel:

Morrocca, basically eliminates the factory tour setting, pushes the stock sport into touring, stock performance becomes sport and a new performance mode is brought in....which kicks azz
