Bilstein no longer rebuilding 355 shocks?

I have Delta Vee custom valved in my Challenge car and all I can say is amazing
They are going into the other 2 this spring

Best bang for the buck in handling done right

 

Bilstein never addressed the seal at the adjuster shaft. It was a crap design and they couldn't even replace that. It's a blessing they don't do it anymore.

Delta Vee not only replaces that POS seal, they are using a better design that actually works.


You get what you pay for.

Everyone wants everything on the cheap. I got news, good work doesn't come cheap. $400 for rebuilding a $1800 shock? What does he want? Koni's cost more to rebuild by anyone competent.

 

+1 For Delta Vee. Rob did a great job on mine in 2013, amazing the difference in handling and very reasonably priced as well. I do not mind paying for quality, the piece of mind and having it done right were well worth the cost.

 

Lifetime warranty should count for something and Delta Vee gives you one. Do one at a time or a pair if you cannot afford to do all of them.

 

Right. Delta Vee rebuilt all four of my Challenge shocks last year. Rob Schermerhorn took the time to discuss the type of driving I do prior to the rebuild.

it may be a mute point now if bilstein is no longer in the rebuild business... then your options may be limited .....to delta vee.

Hi Terry, off topic but I tried to send PM. My son has applied as an incoming freshman to UNM. He says he is interested in international Business ( but who knows...). We live in Los Angeles, any opinion, suggestions on UNM would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

definitely off topic

 

Performance Shock.

 

Follow the advice of all those online here who have been there done that- That's what this place is about- & save yourself some grief

Rebuild the actuators with Captain Z using billet parts and rebuild the shocks with Delta Vee- That's what I did and I've not been Happier

You'll be more satisfied than you imagine and you'll never look back

 

No. It's shock oil coming out around the adjuster shaft seal.

 

Based on the many complaints on here about Ferrari parts pricing - That's not always true though is it?

A lot of the time with Ferrari, what you pay is a lot more than what you get!

 

And as many groundless as not.

Quality is often invisible to those in search of a bargain.

 

In the case of Shocks, to the average mindset

A bad new shock is better then a bad good one

Gotta agree... People who wanted a car where it was common place to find "bargains" are barking up the wrong tree and had chosen poorly. Can you save money by carefully researching and finding compatible high quality parts that interchange (e.g. Bosch part numbers used on other cars for the same components whether they be sensors, coils, or injectors) sure... but don't expect that to be the norm, expect the high price and be pleasantly pleased when you find a bargain.
