Bilstein Rebuild Service
Not sure if some of you ever rebuild the factory shocks on your ride.
Bilstein "used " to rebuild them, as of late they no longer offer this service. There's a few that currently offer this service. Here's a few : Elephant in the bay area - California , Glenn Yee Motorsports in San Dimas California.
Fyi for those that want to rebuild / change the current pressure in the shocks.

some are worth it, some not. if its just b6 or "sport b8's" then just buy new. ( think roughly x73 w sway bars etc..) those are "good enough" for what 90% of what foks do with these that have license plates. bilsten in SoCal still does rebuilds/revalves the gt3 bits though they're getting old, they'll rebuild the damper w new springs is what i'm told very recently

Bilstein coilover service soon!!
Yesterday, I found out that one of the rear coilover was leaking oil.. so need to proceed soon! Quick question is possible to customize these units as part of the service..? what are the options??
Yup time to get it done. Typically what most do to 'customize' GT2/GT3 dampers is get a different valve stack(tighter flow) installed when rebuilding to be optimized for stiffer springs. Going 'beyond' that, it's most likely more cost effect to buy new dampers from Ohlins, MCS, KW,JRZ, Bilstein Clubsport etc..
I just ordered Ohlins for my GT2, putting my original Bilstein's on my dad's 6TT

Yes, we can revalve these dampers for you and we can even add a single or dual bleed shaft to give you a single or double adjustable damper. However as 993GT suggested, the cost for adding adjustments would certainly be more than an Ohlins Road & Track kit which is what we would recommend if you want to go that route. If you track the car heavily a 2-way Ohlins PSi/Raceline set up may be more what you are looking for.
Performanceshock can you qoute me for rebuilding / refresh all four dampeners??
Just spoke with Bruce from Performanceshock.. will be arranging the shipment of the units soon! Thanks
