Leaky coilover w/pics

I recently came back to America after serving in the military in Korea for 3 years. While I was there I purchased an evo 9 that had stance gr+ coil overs. Upon driving the car felt super bouncy so I inspected them. It appears the passénger front is leaking where the piston meets the lower body. I am wondering if these are repairable by a local shop or if I can send them in. Also. I am not too sure if they are gr+ or lx+. Are they repairable at all or do I have to buy new coil overs?

Wow, that's leaking pretty bad. You can contact Mike Lee at Stance. Depending on how bad it is, they can rebuild and revalve the shock. Good luck.

That is leaking pretty bad. If it were me, I would send all of the coilovers in to be inspected and revalved if necessary. Better to be safe than sorry.

Stance GR+s can be rebuilt.

Can someone confirm that these are gr+'s? I think in just going to get a new set of stance super sports.

It's repairable if they are rebuildable. Just appears the seal has broken. Thus the leak.
