Default 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,

Not sure if cup car shocks are Bilsteins- but Bilstein USA will rebuild them for about $75 per shock plus parts (seals, etc.) The can also custom valve them for you at the same time for a small costs. When I checked over the summer, turnaround time was in the 3-4 day range, but for an extra $25 per shock they would turn them around in day.

Glen,
Let's get ours rebuilt wherever Chris gets his done. It's obviously good for multiple seconds at RA

Does anyone know who can revalve H&R shocks? I contacted H&R, but they send them off to Germany to have them done, and charge a ton. Thanks,

Just shipped a pair to Bilstein yesterday. Their website has the price list. "Normal" $75 repair can be 10-day, for an extra $ 35 each they turn them around within 2 days.

What I was surprised at was how much the shipping was...

How much do these cost new such that rebuilding for $75 each is worth it?

The inserts (i.e. cartridges) for the ones I have would have been $255 each new (list $388) - that's the cartridge, not the housing... but, the suspension on my RSA was done full custom for track by previous owner, so I have not choice but repair through Bilstein.
