I bought my s13 6 months ago as a shell.
it came with a set of JIC magic FLA-2's and I just started driving it around for the first time 2 days ago,
upon pulling over I noticed my left rear coilover started to leak juice everywhere. that side isnt sagging much but it will need to be fixed.
can I rebuild it?
coilover juice, am I f*cked?

maybe motorcycle / dirt bike shop. they rebuild those things all the time. or you can spend a little more and let JIC do it and get them customized to suit your driving style.

they do sell replacement dampners! but at 300 I have to do my research before jumping unto the ship.

-What does JIC USA do to my coilovers when we rebuild?Basically, it is replacing moving parts and parts that will wear under heavy use. When we receive your dampers, our highly skilled technicians will open up the coilover, replace the piston if needed, replace the main bearing, apply a new seal, put in a new o-ring, put in new oil, and give it a gas charge. At the same time, our technicians will check to see if there are any other parts that will be needed to replaced. When you get your damper back, it will be brand new internally and it will like the first day you received them.
PRICING FOR THE FLT-A2 SERVICES:
- Inverted Monotube Rebuild: $200.00 per damper/corner- Monotube Rebuild: $150.00 per damper/corner- Custom Valving: $100.00 per damper/corner (rebuild is additional to this cost)- Proper Set up, Cleaning, and Service: $70.00 - $140.00 (depending on condition and set up requirements)- Gas Charge / Increase Gas Charge: $35.00 per damper/corner (regular gas charge is included with rebuild)- Inspection / Trouble Shoot: Free (customer pays for shipping)

that works for me. Ill do both coils on the back, and eventually do both on the front also.
thats a great deal for such expensive coilovers the repair cost, is 10% of the purchasing price.
im still broke, but not for long.
