    Simple questions deserve simple answers. From Matt:

    "The original rebuild is around $950, due to the need for 'rebuildable' aluminum seal heads from KYB. These are $70 each so they add $280 to the first rebuild price. After the initial rebuild, they can once again be rebuilt for just $140 per shock, which includes a new oil seal and oil. It can take approximately 2 weeks to rebuild. If you have any questions feel free to call or email."

    I have a spare set that I'm about to send in for rebuild. After that, I'll be selling the set I currently have on the truck in the event someone wants to send those in for rebuild. I'm amenable to sending them straight to Matt to save on the extra shipping cost if you'd like.

    Not sure if I'd ever consider that much for a shock rebuild....and I'm used to higher priced Bilsteins for my sportscar. They are only $300 for a set of 4. That said, if being open-minded, I have to ask why it LOOKS like these rebuilds still have the original rubber bushings? For that much, I'd think everything would be replaced!
