But there still not rebuildable, so if they leak you just throw them out and buy new ones. Good thing is they're pretty inexpensive.

Tien's are rebuildable by Tien USA here in Southern Cali. They have some of the best customer service too.

APEX is also rebuildable, they are located in Anaheim, but they must be rebuilt in Japan.

What kinda coilovers do you have that need to be rebuilt?

I was under the impression that Tein and Apex only offer twin-tube sealed cartridge dampers for 350Z/G35 applications... do they offer rebuildable ones now too? if they're twin-tubes it's pretty much pointless to rebuild, since replacements are so cheap.
