Hey everyone.

I tried searching existing threads on this topic, but did not find anything.

My 2002 2.7 has 112K on it and both rear shocks are leaking oil. I bought this car used with 70K on it so I am assuming they are original.

I am not looking forward to spending 1000 dollars on 4 shocks, so I did some research and found that Bilstein has a facility in CA that rebuilds shocks.
They can also custom valve them for extra charge to match different spring rates.
ROW m030 is a good value, but for 75 bucks a corner, I think I will give rebuild a shot.

Has anybody used this service before? Stock shocks or PSS9/10?
