    Recently, got an option to purchase rebuilt king 2.5 coil overs insteads of new 6112 Bilsteins. The price would be the same.

    Is this is a good deal?

    If the kings were rebuilt by a reputable shop with documentation, there’s no question.

    None, yet....
    Even if you have to rebuild the Kings, you’re money ahead with much better shocks.

    Do the Kings have better lower bushings on the front struts, those dang Bilstein bushings collapse well before the shocks are worn?
