Anyone had their Koni shocks rebuilt in or around Melbourne area? Looking for recommendations.

Are there options? I got mine rebuilt by a place in Penrith a few years ago but they no longer do it. They told me to send them to http://www.toperformance.com.au/index2.html in Victoria.

If I can get myself motivated to take them off the car I was going to send mine off next week.

Does anyone know anywhere in Sydney that can do it?

How much did it cost you to have them rebuilt?

For Sydney, give this mob a call:
http://www.heasmans.com.au/

They have a full workshop with shock dyno, etc.

ummmm, yeap. Is there some problem with that? When I joined the forum I personally in actual real life knew a fair proportion of the members so didn't see the need to use a different user name.

Interesting Locutus, I didn't think of Heasmans because I thought they only did Bilstein.

Mr nanotech, I cant remember what the guy said exactly. I think it was around $100/damper for a standard freshen up. Definitely cheaper than buying a new set. I'm going to get an extra groove machined into the damper body and replacing the eyelet bushings on mine so it was going to be a bit more for me.
