HKS coilovers... Rebuildable??

Postby soopachargen » Tue May 25, 2010 10:14 pm

My brother has bought a ke70 wagon with hks hipermax coilovers in the front of it and one of them is starting to leak, does anyone in NZ rebuild them, or are they even rebuildable??
When in doubt, down and out.

Well if they are not leaking that would suggest they are not too bad at all so could be as cheap $150 each for a strip, and regas with some seals.
Up ti $800ish if they needed new shafts. But they would more than likely be leaking if they did
