HELP: Where can I get my coilovers rebuilt?

Alright, so straight to the point. I have a set of HKS Hipermax III coilovers on my 2004 WRX Wagon and it is about time that they get rebuilt. The ride quality has been getting noticeably worse and worse over time.

I called FLI and LIC and they both turned me down and said they couldn't rebuild them.

and even more unfortunately for me, HKS USA has shut down so I can't have them rebuild my coilovers for me. I sent an email out to HKS Japan just to give it a shot about two weeks ago and never got a reply.

So, can anyone recommend a shop in the bay area that could possibly rebuild these coilovers for me? Anything could help! Thanks

A bit out of your way, but try Mann Engineering in San Clara.

You can try these guys, but I don't see HKS being listed on their website.

I called PSI and they told me they couldn't rebuild HKS.

I called Mann Engineering but they just didn't pick up.
Hopefully Mann Engineering could do the rebuild, but I'm starting to feel that they most likely won't be able to.

HKS is out of business... I don't think they will be rebuild-able. If they ever were in the first place.

Ive been wondering about this too. Was looking for a local rebuilder that would work on my Leda coilovers.

for my understanding only hks rebuild hks suspension even the prodrive one's that hks makes for them i think pro drive sends them out to hks to have the shocks rebuilt and re valved to there own spec. I just talked to my dealer which is hks's offial dealer in us and they don't have a clue but will get back to me i'll let u know when i find out.

I'll ask at Tsukuba next week if there's no answer by then.
