    Koni offers that service. Give them a call, some shocks are not worth the bother.

    Last I heard it was thru 'Truchoice' in Columbus Ohio. I think at one time the Koni rebuilding service was in Frankfurt Kentucky ?

    Hi Dennis,
    Thanks! Melbourne would definitely work. I live and work between NZ and the US. We have a Koni rebuilder here in Auckland who years ago was top notch. Over recent years they have really gone off their game, so unfortunately are no longer an option.
    Cheers, Gary

    Thanks!

    David, Ed and 68911+1,
    Thanks for your replies.
    David, you are correct. In fact I recently purchased a full set of new Konis for both my 911 and 356 from SMC when they had a sale and it was far my cheaper than rebuilding them.
    In this case, I'm helping out a friend whose car (Lotus Elite) has NLA Konis.
    Ed and 68911+1, I'll try your recommendations.

    Cheers,
    Gary

    I used this guy to re valve my 4 yellow Koni Sports to Koni Classic specs for my 914-6 about 18 months ago
    From memory,he worked at Koni AUS and has now gone out on his own
    good work so far but not cheap
