Im currently talking with a guy about purchasing a set of kw v2’s for 200 dollars. The only problem is the front right shock is blown. Does anyone know where i can get these rebuilt? I heard it was around 300 dollars for all 4 of them. The coilovers are 1500 dollars new for my car and are on par with the toda’s. This guy is actually a former owner of [ephatch.com](http://ephatch.com) and is very respected so i trust im not getting ripped off. Any input/ info would be great especially on a shop that can do the job. Thanks guys ---

Do you think theyll do it pete? I feel like they might charge me a rediculous amount. But this would still be a steal, and i have the money for it currently too. ---

KWs arent complicated, any shock rebuilder with the proprietary tools can do it. If I had em, I’d do it for you for free. ---

My parents have a house on paradox lake and were in ticonderoga all the time. So that could work out nicely, do you have a number i could call? > [@2006 NYSPEED BBQ Location](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2006-nyspeed-bbq-location/14188/6): > > KWs arent complicated, any shock rebuilder with the proprietary tools can do it.

Ok sweet because i read that people rebuild them all the time but they are relatively expensive for the ep3 considering everyone who spends that much just gets the toda’s. Im gonna pick them up then.
