Shock rebuild. Where?

I have my half shafts off + rebuilt and am replacing wheel bearings, so why not do the shocks? Where is a good place to get my shocks rebuilt?

Car: 1997 993 TT

Thanks,

Mr. Tim:

Might I ask what shocks you have?

That information is the prerequisite for a recommendation.

Send the supercups to Bilstein (USA).. Very inexpensive to rebuild.

Kevin,
one more question, is that service available outside of america?
given that the cost to ship almost eclipses the price of buying new

thanks for everything

Chunn, it is extremely inexpensive to have Bilstein rebuild, revalve your Bilstein shocks. The benifit is that you can have them custom valve your existing units to the specs that you need or want. Cup struts aren't cheap.. The last time I checked with Bilstein it was $65-70 for a rebuild...
