Default Can your refurb billy coilovers?

As above. 1 of my rear shocks is leaking.

They are all quite rusty and im thinking of replacing the lot with something else. maybe just konis.

if they can be refurbed what would it cost?

any idea what the shockers cost new?

I had my 2 fronts refurbed, which cost iirc £150. They never painted them again tho. Just replaced internals apparently. (Had a knocking noise I couldn't trace so refurbing suspension was last option. Turned out to be bottom ball joint loose in the hub, which Ive personally never seen before).

So what are the shockers worth in the first place to merit a potential £150 x2 cost?
