Hi guys, I know some people have Bilstein RSR struts installed.
I think I may be nearing rebuild time, and I am considering my options.
The standard drill is to send your struts in to get rebuilt by a professional shop, and I may go with Smart Racing, since I don't like the long turn around time and vague customer service with Bilstein.
My question is: Is there a strut cartridge inside the strut that can be removed and replaced, similar to the Bilstein sport shocks? It looks like a similar roll pin setup, and if it's possible, it would be really quick and easy to simply buy a strut cartridge, pound out the roll pin, and swap everything and be done in one afternoon, rather than the protracted process of sending in old struts, and have them rebuilt and then sent back. Another benefit is that I would have one extra pair of strut cartridges that could be sent in and re-valved whenever.
I'm not so particular about custom valving, and I think standard sport shock valving would be ok with me. Would this work? Has anyone done this before?
