I am going through the front suspensions on my BB. Lots of things just plain worn out. The strut inserts are Koni Red marked Special D 82R-1730. Are these rebuildable? If not, the best choice for replacement?

The cost will be about the same or more than new ones.

Came here to say that. Unless you're looking to get into custom valving, you may as well just buy new ones.

Koni doesn't rebuild themselves any more. There's special cases for us racers (you gotta know a guy) but they'll refer you to someone else for rebuilds. - GA
