    Those are priced at each (and I assumed spring length/rate and heim size so you'd have to check those). Soooo

    2 seal kits
    4 heim bearings
    2 coil springs
    1 gal shock oil

    Other thing that occurred to me - is the shop quoting you to remove and reinstall them - or for you to bring them in by hand?

    Shrug. I would guess each just by the way it's listed, but a phone call to SAW will figure that out.

    Honestly, why don't you just rebuild them yourself? You don't need any special tools other than a bench vice and snap ring pliers (for the bearings). Find a local bicycle or moto-x shop to recharge them with nitrogen when you are done.

    This doesn't cover every detail...but a decent example of what's involved:

    I took them off and shipped them there. It's only one state away so shipping was $25

    Let's put it this way. It's really not as hard as you think. I was like you less than 2 years ago...shocks were just a black box.

    Instead of paying someone to rebuild it, I just took the money and bought a nitrogen regulator and a nitro tank instead. Just take pictures of things as you take it apart to make sure you know how to put it back together.

    Well I got my SAWs back from the place that was rebuilding them and I am pissed at the shitty job they did. So first off they told me it would be around $500 to rebuild them including new springs and everything. I then box them up and ship them to them. A week later they call me and tell me it's going to be $895 to rebuild them. That's way toouch so I told them to box them up and send them back cuz I sold them to a buddy and he is gonna get them rebuilt. Well they still charged me $107 to look at them and put them back "together". Well I open the box and the top plates are just rolling around I'm the box along with the lower heims and bearings that they broke. I am calling tomorrow and letting them know how I feel about their work. I mean I paid you $107 for literally doing nothing so the least you could do is put them back the way you received them. Now I have to put more work into them before giving them to my friend

    Yeah pretty shitty of a shop to do that. I'm in the process of rebuilding a set of saw 2.0s. even with having to get new shafts and coils I'm only $250 into the project. And 6 years later finding parts for SAW is not that easy.

    Wow
    I’m sorry. That’s good you’re rebuilding them tho. What you should do is just sell em and get new shocks smh. Some icons, foxes, Radflo, king, ADS. you should get some new springs for these ones.
