Even Stock Shocks Should be Rebuilt

We know many of you are happy with the stock shock valving that came on your Lotus.  But all dampers need to be refreshed at some point.  Typically mileage is what most use to gauge when to replace them but age also plays a big role.  Since shocks degrade slowly and drivers unconsciously compensate, most don't realize that the suspension is not working as well as Lotus intended them to. 

There is good news and bad news for those of you who want to stick with stock.  We now have stock of each of the varieties of dampers from Lotus.  We hired Bilstein to rebuild them to Lotus specs.  That is the good news.  You can also contact Bilstein like we did to get yours rebuilt but the lead time is 6-8 weeks.  If you don't want to have your Lotus down for that long, give us a call for a set.  We have them available for order on our website: HERE
