Thread: Anyone had bilstiens rebuilt?

I was quoted $176 each.
I whinged and bitched and Sydney Suspensions bought it down to $160. I only got the leaking one done and he told me that it was still 95% and had only lost 5Mils.

You can get new HD valved ones for less than that from the USA, but mine a custom valved to Comfort spec.

Reading the most recent 4WD test I am happy I have comfort as they say that HD are amongst the stiffest. I was advised by Graeme Cooper to get Comfort to avoid skipping on corrugations.

Had mine done by Quadrant Suspension a few months back for $160 each iirc.

mmmm OK its not worth it then.

not when you can buy them in cheaper...not fused about custom valing because these are second hand from someone else.

Thanks Guys

Bugger. hehe

Heasmans charged us $220, I thought he was quoting for the 2, but when we went to pick them up, no $220 each, of we jumped up and down about the price, they dropped the price to $398 for the 2, how generous

Buy new from the US Lou, they will even valve them to what you want for free AND they are 1/2 the price.

I recently bought Bilsteins from the USA for the front of the 110. $76ea + $100 Air Freight.

If that's the RETAIL price in the USA, then imagine what the wholesale price is

You can get a set of 7100's valved to order as cheap as a new set with revalving here from the US. So I bought Fox's instead.

Are the cheap Bilsteins being mentioned from the US, the monotube shocks? i nearly purchased their cheaper shocks rather than have mine rebuilt, until the bloke at Quadrant explained the monotube design of the more exy units.
