Default rebuilding coilovers?

My right rear coilover in the bunky has decided to leak oil everywhere. I'm guessing i need it rebuilt.
It's a JIC type 3 ways adjustable.

Has anyone rebuilt coilovers before? Any workshops in perth that will do the job? Should i rebuild the left rear one too while im at it?
$$$?

Any help's appreciated

Oh yeah, first post

Dude
Give Shane at Exleys Tyre and Brake a call in Willeton 9354 7855
He can talk you through your options, and the best part is: He is honest.

Like driving a brick
But i love 'em. Many adjustments, it's just trial and error as to which suits your driving style.
Good if your driving style closely resembles go-karts
PS: u need good tyres

Will look into those suggestions and let you know if i have any joy.
Might try some WA guys first
