i'm thinking along those lines as well...not sure as to what they would/could sell for? be a good thing for someone as back ups I guess?

If I can't get a new replacement for this one I see my options as:

1.) Rebuild it if these dampers can be rebuilt. If they can be rebuilt, recommendations as to who to do the work please.

2.) Replace all 4 coilovers with something else that's comparable. Recommendations welcome. This is for dual use C6 Z06 - HPDE and track days.

Many thanks in advance.
Try feal in ontario, ca. I saw they rebuilt a first gen pfadt for a hundred bucks so they may be able to do yours

Just adding information here, but our Ridetech shocks do have a 1,000,001 mile warranty!

Is "feal" the correct name or was that a typo?

Feal is sending mine back to me. They couldn't fix my leaking adjuster on a front shock.
