Default Bilstein rebuild?

Has anyone sent their Bilsteins back to get rebuilt lately? What is the cost and time to return?

I will let you know. Their website doesn't say anything about their rebuild service. I have been carrying around their phone number for a week but keep forgetting to call. I'll give them a call Mon.

I sent mine out last year. I think it was $100 per shock to rebuild and revalve to track stiffness. They also checked my actuators. I have the fx3. Non adjustable shocks are about 50 each I think. Took two weeks for turn around. :)

From Bilstien, I got a quote for rebuilding of $60 per shock plus shipping (depending where you are another $5-$10 or so per shock each way).

Van Steel (a Forum supporting vendor) had NEW Bilsteins for $65 each including the shipping. It was an unadvertised special for Forum members only. You have to call them for the details. They were delivered within three days!
