Rebuilding JRZs -- West Coast options?
I've got a pair of front struts that are due for a going-over. As I understand it, I can send them to TPC on the east coast. But if there's a southern California option I could toss them in the trunk and take them in personally.
Does anyone know of any JRZ rebuilders west of the Mississippi? Even better if they're west of Vermont Ave. right here in L.A.

Jack, I had Duane at Vision rebuild mine last year. He has all the good test equipment (a shock dyno) to make sure both shocks are identical. He'll also produce a ream of data (charts and tables from the dyno tests) that you, above all, being the ultimate techie, would enjoy!

Thanks, guys. It turns out the guy who had them originally built for me, Cary Eisenlohr of ERP -- who actually brought this set from the Netherlands in a suitcase -- can also rebuild them.
As a weird piece of trivia, these struts had the usual spindle raising done to them, but also had 1.5° of positive camber built into them for my suspension, which Tyson Schmidt designed with non-stock mounting points and a chopped-and-lengthened A arms. Maybe that's commonly done, but it was odd to see the positive indication stamped into the struts.
