take it to your tein dealer, they are about 150 bux per damper, takes about 3 weeks.

how many mileage did you put on your tein system before you decided to have them rebuilt? is it a FLEX?

i dont track my car a lot... actually hardly ever. but i drive a lot of canyons and a lot of miles on stiff settings. im noticing a creaking noise when i go over bumps etc and my mechanics say that its mostlikely the coilovers doing that. they seem really hard.


anyways, as of right now, the next thing i want to try and do is raised the ride height again and then soften the suspension a lot more and see if it rides smoother. if it does, then i will put off rebuilding the suspension.


revto9k.... have you done a rebuilt? how did you quote a price like that? from where did you find that price? seems a bit much.


btw... im running tein RA's

Depends on what's needed...they never give you an exact price as they don't know what needs to be done. If it's just basic stuff, they'll replace the seals, oil, and gas. If there's scoring in the casing, they'll need to rehone. If there's damage to any other internals, those will need replacement. Usually, it's just seals, oil, and gas.
