My coilovers, I have been told need to be resealed. I called Avo, and they want £45 a unit

Can any people recommend companies that do this cheaply? or refurbish them in general? Thanks

Get Avo to recon them, £45 a unit isn't that bad really. Least if Avo do them that have all the correct parts. Other people will just have to buy off Avo anyway

What parts are needed on a reseal though? surely just gas and a seal? or is there more to it.?

Just can't justify £100 including postage, on old coilovers

If its an hour a side to strip them down and rebuild then that's cheap IMO! Had loads of coilovers rebuilt over the years and that's a good price IMO!

Yeah, I suppose when it's put like that it's not so bad. Just when they were bought I was advised £13 a side, so but of a shock (not pun) haha
