If they are Koni Reds the answer is yes. Koni quoted me $180 each. There have been other threads that detailed others that can rebuild them for less as I remember.

The cost of rebuilding starts with a base price.However,the price goes up from there when the re-builder says you need parts that need replacing.

Truechoice's basic fee was $150.00 per shock,plus parts if I remember.

I think my bill totaled $400.00 for the pair.

I'm happy wid'm.An added plus is that Koni's are infinately re-buildable.
