Anything is possible if you have enough time and money. But, I currently don't know of anyone who is equipped to rebuild/revalve the decarbon shocks. So, I'm going to say "not likely". Sorry.

No, they can't be revalved.... No service centers, or service parts for those shocks.

Sorry, but that is my view on the matter.

Unless you dont have any shocks on the car or they are broken, I'd say drive around on worn shocks until you can afford to buy better shocks.

Too many people go into debt modding or buy crappy parts because they want it now and cant wait until they can actually afford it.

Sorry for the "old man speach".

Have fun.

Its a non sponsor site PM if you are interested in the site. The company got them from SLP when they discontinued the SS and Firehawk's.

When I lowered my car I purchaced the "take off's" from slp and installed the new decarbon shocks and a pro-kit and am pretty happy with it. The car is my daily driver and when I lowered it I was just going for looks and like you was on a tight budget. Im sure that if I drove in a lowered car with better shocks I would'nt want to drive my car but for now I am pleased with with them. The ride is pretty close to stock IMO.
