Default Are Bilstein rebuildable?

My 2000 A6 2.7t has 92k miles and I had the pleasant surprised to find it has Bilstein shocks.
Unfortunately I do not have the history of the car and have no idea when the Bilsteins were installed. I suspect they have be on for a while and feel a bit worn out. Are they rebuildable?

Yes they are, you'll need to take them off the car and ship them to Bilstein in Northern California. Not a bad price either.

HI

Yes you can rebuild you bilstein shocks and you can also deside how you want them, if you`re gonna use your car for for dragrace or track. Just tell the company that you send them to what you are gonna use the car for.

I work with these shocks almost every day at my work http://www.sellholm.se/
and I think it is a very good shock.

I`ve built it for my car both rear and front shocks with springs and all, and you haft to excuse my english.....it`s not so very good but here is some pictures of it.
