RAWS Regular Location: Adelaide Street Racing ca... Registered: November 2004	Re: perth - JZA70 twin turbo R factory Bilstein suspension + a/m springs Thu, 11 August 2005 08:28 It should probably be mentioned that at 125k kms and 13 years old these struts are probably due for a rebuild (this isn't just my opinion but that of a suspension expert). I've spoken to a bilstein expert who tells me that this is around $150-$160 per strut and that they can be re-valved at the same time to change the ride (stiffer or softer). If I am succesful in my offer I will be having the struts rebuilt and I suggest anyone else purchasing should do the same. I also enquired how much a brand new set of the same bilstein struts are (they are avaliavle from the same bilstein expert). They are $900-$1000 for 4. They can also be valved however you like when purchasing. My offer of $300 for the struts plus rebuild cost of $150x4+$300(offer)=$900 (same price as new brand new bilstein struts without including posting the used struts from perth). This means that in this offer I am only really getting the two sets of springs thrown in to compensate for buying used. Spring performance degrades over time and use also. The original springs would be due for replacement and their only real use would be for in case of defect, so it would pass inspection. I don't mean to say these aren't worth buying as obviously they are or I wouldn't have made an offer myself but I personally will be hesitant to make an offer higher than my current offer in light of what they cost new.
