Just wondering if anyone knows a good place for bilstein rebuilds in Vic? Also what a rough cost might be per strut.
Thanks

I went down this path Dough, from memory it was about $360 per strut but the blokes I got the quote from (a group in Sydney) they'd highly recommend doing pairs, back two or front two at the same time. So double that if you like. I also had postage to put on top. That's when I thought, I'd look at secondhand Sti suspension. Hopefully someone else can help you.

You could possibly give the guys at Heasmans a call. Although they are in NSW, they specialise in Bilstein suspension and could give you a quote I guess? They might even be able to refer you to someone in Victoria.
Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille
Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.

Thanks guys. I contacted some guys down here, waiting for a call back. I figured I'd be looking at at least $200 per strut, probably not worth it. Picked up some pedders sport ryders to keep me going for now. Trouble with any second hand shocks including sti's is that they are going to have plenty of K's on them and would need servicing anyway. Might just have to bite the bullet and save up for some new ones.

Or just go with BC Racing coilovers from ICHIban. It's what I'll be doing if mine are to ever screw up.

The local Pedders bloke I spoke to recently suggested Baker Brothers in Oakleigh (vic)
They have been rebuilding Billies for yonks apparently.

I should just convert to single, right?As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;
