Suspension Question

After reinstalling my front swaybar this weekend with the help of a local pelicanite, we inspected my front and rear shocks. They appear to be in good condition, no apparent leaks, no rust, etc. The car is a little lower than euro. After 55k miles on original Bilsteins should I think about replacing them? Is there any cost benefit in having them rebuilt? It's an '87 930.

Send them to Bilstein and they will rebuild them for about $75 ea.
