reza

Ok, with so many talks about coilover this and that.
Lets compare long term cost. Please put in the missing numbers below. I think I miss a lot of other brand and models from the list below.
I think for the most part, revalve and rebuild cost is the same, so this cost should be for both rebuild and revalve.

Format:

True Choice is your best bet for a Koni rebuild. That said, GC almost certainly does it a well. Prices are completely broken down in the TC catalog, and it really varies, there are overv 50 different aftermarket Koni shocks, but figure the most basic service at ~75.00, and a mid quality race shock at 150.00 on up, plus parts. A GC Advanced design is about 120.00 to revalve, and replace soft parts, they, and the Konis last forever.
I have had Tein HAs, they are 120.00 a corner, and I have JIC FLT-A2 on my MKIV Supra, they were rebuilt(3 of 4) at no charge after failing about 8 months after I bought them. It should be noted the JICs have a 3 month warrranty. I was fortunate to have a good dealer backing me up, and worked with Ben at JIC here in Cali. Carl

How about adding in turn around time if possible (personal experience or other).

Aight reza I filled in what I know. The rest I can quickly find out for you and might be good to do as we will contact the manufacturer directly. Let me know if there are more questions. I added a few things.
