Default Pfadt coilovers

Anybody knows where I can have my Pfadt coilovers rebuilt? The company that took over Pfadt is saying that they will start offering that service soon but no firm date yet. One of my shoks leaks badly and I need to have them done asap as I have track days lined up in the near future.

Google Feal suspension. They have been successful and are affordable.

Try these guys:

They rebuild all sorts of dampers (exotics) that have been discontinued or near impossible to find.

Default Thank you

I appreciate all the info. The company that bought Pfadt called me this morning and confirmed that they will start offering this service in 30 days. I will however contact the other places in the meantime. Again, thank you for your help!

Good to know. I wish aFe would contact me, I sent both online request and an e-mail through their website and got zero response. I summed it up as it was too soon and needed to wait a while longer. Tough have a set of coilovers for more than a year now and still unable to install due to some small parts.
