   I have a set of these for the front but they are very soft, as in i can push them all the way in which aint good.
   
   Anyone know what this is caused by? I assume they need a regas but cant find anyone who does this on ask or Google any one here had this done and knows who where and how much

   How about Bilstein themselves !? Call them and they can service/re-valve them for you etc.
   
   Might be worth asking the cost, as might be cheaper/quicker to buy new again?

   how easy are they to push in? You can push in most damper struts

   Im not 100% how difficult they should be tbh i have 2 sets one set does not move at all when i push them down (and im 6' 5" and 17 stone) so there is some weight behind it.
   
   The other pair that i have tat i was asking about can be pushed all the way down with one arm, although it is hard to push it in it does go all th way.
   
   P.S neither pair leak or have any obv damage

   I couldn't compress my Group N front dampers by hand - they were pretty damn solid. Let us know how much it costs to have them serviced if you go down that route.
