I've attached a link to the shock absorber in question, I assume this will be of no use. I'm told the shock is still working but surely not.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It's a set of coilovers that are for sale and I was thinking about them for my car. H&R set up, I asked the guy a few questions but he didn't say what happened just reckoned the shock was still working, personally I couldn't see how it could be but I've been wrong before. I should imagine the top mount will be toast also.

I've just had a set of h&r coilovers rebuilt by bilstein in leicester. The ones I have use bilstein shock inserts, not sure if this is the case on all the h&r ones. They rebuilt the inernals needed to machine new rods for 3 of mine - cost about 500 quid in total so could be an option if its not badly damaged. TBH a set of new h&r street performance coilovers is circa 1200 quid so not too much I'd also wonder how it got like that. Must have taken quite a hit so could be other damage

Good info on the rebuild I would never have given bilstein a thought for rebuilding, it could be a possibility then. Are yours shocks stamped with H&R ?
