Dont think anybody in Perth will do it , not to spec anyway. I had a horror story when I had a problem with mine about 2 yrs ago. I think mine ended up going back to Germany, or so i was told. The Australain distributor at the time was Erik at EVL Motorsport and the guy was a complete dick head and and liar. Fortunately I understand he has long gone now. Speak to John Fowler because the last I heard there was another dealer over east that took over the KW stuff and they were going to get the equipment to rebuild them in Australia. I dont know if that ever happened though. Otherwise they might have to go back to Germany for repair
Keep us posted how you go as I am sure there will be people in future, including myself that will need to do the same thing at some point.

Hey Carl, thanks for that. I was hoping that was not going to be the answer though. Mine is not a warranty job as they are about four years old now.

Warranty or not I think you might struggle to find someone who can do them to spec and with the right parts?

Just a guess on my behalf but good luck and let us know how it goes

Nick, it may also be worthwhile to give Race Torque a call.

Brett has these coil overs in his 08 STI. I have never been a fan of coilovers but find the ride with these very good
