Rebuilding Koni DA's
I picked up a set of Koni DA's from a 98 Camaro last night and was wondering if you guys know of any good places to have them rebuilt, and what the pricing will be, or if I should just go through Koni's authorized list of rebuilders one by one until I find one with a good price...
Any idea on what it will cost?

Yeah, I got those exact ones that you were looking at. I am in no rush to rebuild them since I already have a decent street/canyon setup on my car, and am doing a motor build right now (so, can't really afford to rebuild these right now). I am thinking of going with a Ground Control or Global West coilover setup with these.

Zex.. ProParts is local.. Located up in the Valley.. I need to get mine rebuilt as well.. They quoted me as of today 2-3 weeks..
They offered me 20% off parts since I have my own shop. If you want, I can send your shocks in with mine and get you the 20% as well.
Let me know.

settings could play a huge difference in feel, though in that amount of time the nitrogen charge may be weaker. I had my da rebuilt on the front, the one messed up not too much later, had to take it apart but he fixed it for free and I havent had problems since. Still looking for the appropriate settings, and the bilsteins may have felt a lot better as they arent as harsh.

Would it be possible they had them set wrong? If they were set wrong, a bilstien would feel a million times better. 5-10 years... well I've had my Koni SAs for 5 years and they aren't wearing out anytime soon. I bet they are probably fine. Just thinking you might be able to save yourself a little time and money here....
