    Bilstein will rebuild them for you for $65, much cheaper than buying new ones.

      You can try doing the bounce test to make sure they aren't dampening anymore

        How does that work? Have you had it done, it sounds like it would take a while and as it is my car is drivable as long as I'm smart with it. It would complicate things if I didnt have it for an extended period of time

          I had them completely revalve mine and it took a little over a week I believe. Might be less time for just a rebuild.

            Very cool, thanks for the info. Might have to send them in once I get back to SD. Is it gonna be ok to leave my car just sitting on the rear springs for that time... Or should I just set it up on jacks? My concern being I live in a student apartment complex and the natives are complete assholes and I could see someone screwing with it on the jacks
