Hotchkis struts or any replacements? need help

[cjw]

I just blew my strut about a week ago and im having some problems finding a replacement, I have the old Hotchkis stage 3 coilover strut and cant get a direct replacement from them, does anyboody here know of a place to get just a strut? If not what are some other struts that I could buy just the assembly fairly cheap? Any thoughts would help
Thanks

Yup, the Hotchkis coilovers used Bilstein dampers, hit up Bilstein for servicing. Or call Hotchkis to see if they know anyone else who can rebuild them.

soo_fuego is right, call Bilsten or hotchkis they can point to in the rigth direction of a rebuilder local to you. If you decide to get a new coilover and sell those hotchkis, please let me know.

I have the same problem, I have the Hochkis Coilover system on my car the kit has roughly 15k miles on them I'm looking to sell mine. I have a 02 celica with 32k on it I dont drive it too much. I tried to get a hold of "JOHN" john hotchkis I called him and his company like 5 times im friends with him on facebook look him up. I ended up getting no results through the company that sold them to me. I called bilstein and still no reply. I love the coilovers easy to go up and down but want a rebuild im sure if I kept calling bilstein Id get them replaced, car is parked so dont care but looking to sell. shoot and offer or email aiwa711@yahoo.com

You called and tried to speak to John himself? :rofl:

Guys really, you have to be more resourceful. I called Hotchkis and if their inventory is correct they have 6 front cartridges for $145 and 8 rear cartridges for $90. Bamm.

Yeah I did talk to john, They said they dont deal with it
