Rebuilding standard 200SX shocks

Post by Jason200 »

Hi Guys.
I've heard that you can rebuild/sevice & shorten the standard front & rear shocks on a SX.
I would like to get coilovers but don't have enough cash for the ones that I want, yet.
I have read that this is done by Ian Glass in CT, anyone have his contact details?
Has anyone had experience with this??

Thanks for the information!
Spoke to Ian.
Shocks rebuilt, shortened and re-valved accordingly, R650 for each front shock and R595 for each rear shock, excl. VAT!

I actually just dropped the shocks off this afternoon.
Should be done in a week or two.
Will test them out at the track day on the 27th and give some feedback!
