Bent a LR shock racing at Thunderhill. Anyone have a decent rear PSS9 you're not using? Or a decent used set?

Thanks,
Tim

I think I have a rear on a shelf somewhere. I'll check tonight and get back to you.

Good morning Tim,
Vali may have 1. He had a new car that had the incident at Laguna Seca. I believe they replaced all the suspension parts. You have his number?

Yes, thanks. I talked with Vali. He's going to hook me up with a few old shocks to choose from. I'm pretty close to PSI at Sonoma so will take them there for checkout / rebuild.

Thanks, Branimir!

I apologize, but it seems I have two fronts and no rears ... in case anyone else is interested.

It takes a while but Bilstein can repair the shock. I damaged a LR and was unable to find anyone who would sell me a new one. I ended up buying a used set and sent the damaged one to Bilstein service in Poway CA.

Thanks, guys. We have a good shock shop here in NorCal also, Performance Shock, Inc (PSI) at Sonoma Raceway. They do a lot of Bilstein rebuilds. I checked with them and the shock cannot be “unbent”. Bought a new set from TireRack.
