Yea, rebuilding is one of the option, has been quoted for $2.2k for it. I called Mark from Toyota earlier, they only have the front ones. I've also contacted Autolign and Shocks, Brakes N Tyres, they said they'll do some research to see whether they can get their hands on something.

Re: My smile generator
See what replacements George Stocks in Auckland can supply. They're agents for KYB and Koni. Don't know if the club has a discount option with them.
See ya

Re: My smile generator
Yea, George Stocks was one of the suppliers I've contacted as well for Koni as alternative. They only only have the rear Koni set and the front pre-order will take couples of months to come in. KYB was available but not preferred.

Re: My smile generator
After some searching around, with none available locally, I ended up purchasing a set of B6 Bilsteins from PrimeMr2 in the States which cost me $1350nzd shipped.
And...
they showed up at my door steps yesterday and today! From the moment I purchased it online to my door steps only took 8 days! Way faster than the months I need to wait if buying them locally through supplier besides I don't have the patience.
now I just need to get them on the car!

Re: My smile generator
Finally got the shocks swapped out yesterday with Phill's help. No more annoying clunks!
Just need to get the alignments done and I can start enjoying some summer drives.

Re: My smile generator
Glad to hear they made the clunking go away. It will be interesting to see how the HD/B6 feel with standard REV3-5 springs.
The Ohlins are definitely in questionable condition and one seems to not want to compress all the way regardless of the rebound adjustment. Some won't even come back up on their own so will need rebuilt.

Re: My smile generator
That's no fun.
Does it have a trickle charger on it? Also it's probably a bit old?

Re: My smile generator
Luckily I did not get stranded in Kapiti over the weekend while trying out Transmission Gully. I think it's just old, its fully charged with 12.5v but does not want to crank at all, CCA is gone. Still good for lighting and stuff
