    Looking to have my Icon 2.5 VS RR coils rebuilt. Any recommendations near the South Bay or should I just take them straight to Icon?

    Off topic hope you don’t mind, why rebuild. How many miles on it. Thanks . Was considering icon but finances in the way so it has to wait.

    Not in the South Bay, but these guys rebuilt my King shocks and did an awesome job. Now it's like I'm riding in a Barcalounger.

    What was the price all in to rebuild all 4 if you dont mind me asking? I see they list anywhere from $100-200 on their site, Im assuming thats just for one shock?

    All coilovers will eventually need a rebuild. Mine have about 60k and one is starting to fluid on the reservoir hose.

    Rather than hand them four shocks for a rebuild, I worked it out with them -- I just showed up with my truck, they removed and rebuild the shocks while I waited -- an all-day process. Which means my bill was significantly larger than just handing them shocks.

    Bottom line: I was very happy how things turned out.

    So I take it that its safe to assume their website pricing is per shock?

    I would assume so. Give them a call and chat it up.
