OEM Bilstein Shock Rebuild/Revalve

[DocB]

Can the OEM rear Bilstein shocks be rebuilt/revalved?

And would their length be appropriate for a car lowered 1.0-1.5"?

Search brought up nothing. TIA.

looking forward for information on this and if its more benifical than just getting some QA1 adjustable shocks or like item.....

jrgoffin,

I was told by Bilstein that if the shock is "crimped" it would make a difference if it could be rebuilt or not.

Presently I do not have an OEM shock to look at and would like to know if ours are crimped or not before I get a set, send them in, only to find out they can't be rebuilt or revalved.

If you have had them done before by Bilstein the info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Don't know about the 03/04 shocks specifically. You'll probably just have to score a set and get the boot off to look. Kind of a pain, but beats sending them in first! Too bad Bilstein can't tell you by reference to the part number.

While taking about Bilstein are the Bilstein HD's the same as what was fitted from new or are they different??
