Exclamation Coilover suspension rebuild needed

Does anyone know of a company that can rebuild HKS/bilstein coil overs?

Thanks :-)

I don't know about HKS coilovers, but I recently tried to get my Apexi coilovers serviced only to find out that the only Jap suspension that can be serviced in the UK at the moment is Tein stuff. So it's either back to Japan or time to buy some new....

(it works out cheaper to buy new BTW)

I found a company, but they only do leda shocks. Cheap tho... prices vary from £50 - 65 a shock (springs are extra). They don't do Bilstein tho, doh.

Thanks for the info anyway :-)

The main problem is not actually getting someone who can do the stripping and reassembly but it's the replacement of worn parts that presents the problem. They need to be imported in from Japan and its just too costly.

I spoke to Abbey Motorsport and a jap performance part specialist in London (cant remember their name).

Good luck with yours!
