No further parts available or rebuild services for PSS9s? Wow! Should have gone JRZ

I think there are some 3rd party folks that can rebuild the PSS9 if Bilstein isn't doing it, such as Fat Cat Motorports ($$$ but with additional features added), Feal (although their website has changed and all non-store content seems to be gone), and I am sure (hope?) plenty of others. Here might be one:

https://deltavee.net/shop/services/bilstein-adjustable-strut-ex-pss9-rebuild-service/

Edit: I emailed Delta Vee and they say they can do it, but they are pretty backed up with strut rebuilds so they say it may take a while...

Bilstein still lists the PSS9 rebuild as one of their services:

https://www.bilstein.com/us/en/technology-and-knowledge/service/

But that PCA announcement did seem to say it was NLA. I did just see a set of freshly rebuilt PSS9 for sale on one of the FB Spec Box groups so it must be able to be done somewhere.

I wonder why they would stop support for such a wide installed base, maybe they are making too much money on Toyota Camry shocks and losing support for their "niche" markets?
