I picked these up on ebay for $80 many years ago knowing that they were rebuildable if they were no good but not knowing that rebuilding them costs as much as new Bilsteins.
My questions: Is there any way to tell if they are any good other than running them and seeing how they feel? In the second picture, I am guessing that the 8 70 might be a date code. If they are that old and haven't been rebuilt, is it even possible that they are still good? I would like to run adjustable perches. Any recommendations on where to buy and what brand? How do I adjust them? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)   Thanks, Ken |
