anyone know where I can rebuild a shock from a 2004 bentley continental gt? The air bag is damaged and I just want to rebuild it. This picture i got of google, its identical to it though. Any help is greatly appreciated. <img src=" photo Bentley-Continental-GT-Silver-Suspension-Replacement-Ramspeed-Automotive-3.jpg" />

Rebuilt about 1K. I want to say they have a standard non air-ride suspension for that car that is ~3K it might be a good time to do it.

Yea I read about eliminating the air ride system, haven't done much research on it. Think its time to do it.

Depends on how long you are going to have the car, 900$ is not the end of the world on a rebuild especially when you are doing it for a Bentley especially for a flip.

The VAGCOM modifications for a Bentley not to have the airbags for ride height adjustments may be difficult. I have only sent the bags out for rebuild becuase it was the cheapest option at the time.

Also this is not something that they make parts for, it's not a o-ring and piston sort of swap to my knowledge. Though when one goes they can go south real quick, the pump is 1800$ I think, though 400$ and change used. Shocks are 1600$ a piece OEM. I did not care for the "suspension" dial in the flying spur I just left the thing in comfort and as long as I found somebody who could make shocks that matched that for under 3K I would do it preemptively if I was holding onto the car and could clear the code.
