I've just had my 996 GT3 at West Byfleet OPC for it's annual service, while it was there they gave it the obligatory once over and discovered that one of the rear shocks was leaking.

Therefore I reckon it's time to get all 4 shocks refurbished, can someone remind me where I need to send them off to please biggrin

Cheers

FWIW, my 996 failed its MOT for leaking rear shocks.

Just bought 2 new Bilsteins.

COuld have got them re-furbed, but thought "sod it".

I've just had all mine refurbed by Bilstein UK

£85+vat for refurb plus £25 +vat for new rods (which they will probably need).

Bargain compared to new shocks.

Thanks for the input, I've just spoken to David at KBSS on 01445 283407 and he's going to be refurbing all 4 shocks, as mentioned he confirmed that the rods at the rear will need probably need replacing and he carries these in stock.

He reckons a week turnaround which is find for me, but if it was your daily driver he could get them done quicker.

All sounds good to me smile
