[Mk2] [Generic] Kei-office coilover repairs?
Does any body happen to know if Kei-office coilovers are strut inserts or threaded body? Or where I could get replacement shocks? Had a quick google there but not much showing up. Or has anybody repaired their own coilover? Anywhere to get them refilled after replacing seals?

According to the gospel of google I though they were Japanese. Although are most coilovers these days not made in China or Taiwan or that? Unless you get mega high priced units?

Kei office are a japanese company and are now known as DG-5

Also i'd hardly call their stuff cheap, seeing as their cheapest kit is 1500 quid.

I dunno how much support youll get for em, i'd give GAZ a call and also these guys http://www.aurok.com/ to see if they can possibly rebuild em.

Russ at mick gardener racing might be able to help you with rebuilding your dampers, their an ohlins dealer in barnsley but can rebuild other brands with ohlins parts.
