Rebuilding shocks

Postby Stealer Of Souls » Mon Jul 26, 2004 1:24 pm

Hey...
Gf's AE92 has those shocks with the different hardness settings... What i'm wanting to know is can these be rebuilt/recondition? It's good for her so we want to keep this feature if possible...

I don't claim to know everything... That doesn't mean it isn't true....

yes they can be rebuilt, infact apart from TRD thats about your only option. around $175 each i think, but thats a guess, i can arrange it if you want

Damn even at $175 might as well go aftermarket and put up with it...
What's the TRD option? for factory replacements I was quoted about $400 a corner...

iv never looked into it but it may be worth your while adapting some adjustable shocks, im sure you could fine something with the correct mounts

Can't be bothered with the hassle... I'll just go aftermarket and the gf will have to settle with whatever goes in... as will I...
