However, for stock or OEM shock absorbers, the cost of a proper rebuild doesn't make financial sense. Coilovers like Tein Flex Z are supposed the lifetime of a vehicle or even longer. They are intended to be serviced over time, with options for re-valving, re-springing, and refilling as the cost of a new set of coilovers is way higher than rebuilding them.So it all comes down to the cost of shock absorbers vs the cost of a proper rebuild.As for OP - If KYB is hard to find, you can look for Monroe (Asian spec) / Gabriel / etc and they are OK as a stock replacement. If the strut is ok while the springs are bad, you have the option of just replacing the springs with something like H&R progressive springs (recommended) or King Springs.</blockquote>
