Hey, I bought a set of coilovers from a fellow Rennlister knowing the front inserts were going. When they arrived, they were leaking - so I asked Bilstein if they offereed a rebuilding service. They never replied to my email so I sent the struts.

Following up by phone, I found Bilstein has discontinued rebuilding the inserts (which they made) in the H&R coilovers.

This process has taken about 2 months, and I now have the struts back.

Can anyone recommend a rebuilder for these parts?

I believe I read somewhere that they indeed stopped rebuilding them, but Elephant Racing, along with some other shops, were able to do it.

Thank you, Tom. H&R themselves basically told me to throw them away. Amazing. I guess I'll check in with Chuck!

Elephant Racing to the rescue.

Update: Elephant Racing rebuilt my leaking front struts and turnaround was 7 days, including shipping to and from. Very happy with the service. Thank you, tom153!

Great to hear! Did you opt for any revalving? Let us know how the rides with these.

techweenie

I was offered revalving, but really didn't know what to ask for, so just had em resealed. Probably can install in the next couple weeks...

Good to hear, talked to the Elephant guys at Werks Reunion in Monterrey last year. Great informative guys, nice hardware.
