Just bought a set of ebay for fair price with what in the add says is solid +1 degree top mounts and ta technix rear shocks. Person said in ad "that they could do with rebuild,as play in them" but didnt say what so I asked before buying and he said the coilovers themselves. Any idea if the would have play in the coilovers if they need rebuild and rough price?? If had similar rebuilt  ________________________________________ cherry rallye daily (the money pit) |

Thats ridiculous, even Penske only charge £99+vat for a service and revalve, although mine still cost me £800 by the time they'd had new roller bearing sleeves and some other bits doing. Try http://www.corneringforce.com/ there local to me and very helpful. I used them a few years ago to help me set my car up and sort out my Penskes for me. ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

My s**t constantly has to go on the back burner, they're literally 2 minutes down the road as well!  I need to sort something soon though as I've sold my current dampers. Cheers for the link Pete, certainly worth a shout if I can't get local help. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Your springs are going to have to be matched to the damper rates/vice versa when they're rebuilt. Can you see any numbers etched on them (usually on the top cap where the rod comes out)________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
