Kei Office Coilover Rebuild?
I picked up a set of Kei Office Type-GU coilovers for an FD and two of the shocks are blown. The US distributor for their suspension bits can't rebuild them and I can't find any info on how to get in touch with the company in Japan. Does anyone know of a US shop that might be able to rebuild them? I'm not looking for a revalve or anything fancy, just need to have the seals changed, new oil, and a fresh nitrogen recharge. Any help you guys can offer would be highly appreciated.

Do I understand correctly? You asked the US distributor of these products how to get them serviced and they can't help?
And you guys wonder why I never recommend any of this JDM stuff... |
Yep, apparently the GUs were discontinued before they became the US distributor and they can't service them here. If I was buying coilovers new, I would never have bought these because of the lack of US support like you said. I got them cheap enough that if the shocks are completely worthless, I really wouldn't be too upset.

Ridiculous. |
Worst part is, I remember hearing that Kei Office's suspension dept is temporarily closed, but that was a year ago.
Good luck my friend. Edit- the same thing has happened with JIC magic, where the US distributors would just hang up and give you the runaround. |
Well they say that they aren't servicing the GUs anymore and offer a discount off some new ones if I trade them in. I'm not real motivated to drop a lot of cash on a new set though since their service record seems pretty spotty and I don't want to be in the same position when I need a rebuild in the future.

what is the contact info for their US distributor
|
That'd be Drift Speed and their customer service seems to be a bit subpar. I sent them an inquiry about a week ago and haven't gotten a response at all :(

I know this is an old thread, but here is where you need to send coil overs to be rebuilt since this is a common problem.
go to tamparally(dot)com or call 813-333-1100 good quick shock service. |
