Default Bc Racing Br series needs rebuilding - Anyone recommend somewhere

One of my bc racing br series struts is leaking oil and giving hardly any shock absorption so can anyone recommend a garage that rebuilds them via posting them off? also its just the one that needs rebuilding.

I think apex can do them for you, but not sure. Best get both rears done together though.

Either that or buy a replacement damper body-that will keep you on the road as it would be a straight swap over.

Good to know that if a BC damper fails it won't cost the earth to put right .

+1 on that Dan.
I might contact Apex for guidance regarding my BC coilover issue. Spring tension me thinks.
Is this Apex in Bradford?

it's not leaking it's just a spring tension adjustment to be done. It's getting sorted out this weekend.

fpan - unsure of mileage as they were fitted already to car when i bought it, but reckon around 2-2.5 years. then there was also the 'top 17mm nut' thread was damaged, 'Upper Spring Platform with Bearing' seals had gone.

I have to say though Apex are the best car parts company I have ever dealt with been very helpful with advice/info, superfast in posting part out and even didnt charge me for some extra parts just so I had eveything I needed to do the job.

Kakumei - mine was leaking, there was oil all over the shock - see pic below, it was scoobyvince with spring tension prob.
