I have a set of Competition Engineering single adjustable shocks on my ladder bar setup. You can bounce the back of my car like a basketball 5 or 6 times then it gets stiff. So I'm assuming these shocks need rebuilt or replaced.
What's it normally cost to send 2 shocks out for a rebuild?

I think I have everyone confused, I have coilover shocks, I think you guys are thinking I just have regular 90/10 50/50 70/30 type shocks. Sorry.
Bobprofab, get me a price on those customer shocks. And I'll call CE to see if they can rebuild mine or not.

Well the kit they come with includes perches for those shocks to fit inside the coil spring. Its a cheapy version of the coilover. I ran them for years and they worked just fine ...they are just very difficult to adjust. I have the perches and shocks from my car in my shed http://www.jegs.com/p/Competition+Engineering/743921/10002/-1...I'd ship it to you cheap. I was running 10.50's with them ...but I think I got lucky one nite and used some of the winnings to buy new QA1's.

I'm such an idiot, I checked my shocks tonite, they are Chassis Engineering not Competition engineering. Sorry guys. So, are these rebuildable?

I'll find out if a guy I use to have re-build all brands is still doing it....he's near Sacramento...used to work for Penske's shock department.
I think you may be referring to Naake in Roseville, CA. Don't know his drag race stuff, but his is on top of his circle track shock setups.

I've been browsing Summit's site and all the shocks seemed so expensive, but I didn't look at the CE prices as I just looked at my shocks 15 minutes ago to see what brand they were. LOL
isnt your shocks the chris alstons shocks 
if i remembered right.
i remember he had fun trying to adjust them at Norwalk last year
