Default Who can revalve koni shocks?

I have a full set of koni shocks for a 1986-89 integra, wondering if anyone has the ability/experience to revalve them for custom spring rates? The shocks are discontinued so parts may be a challenge, can anyone help me?

Koni is amazingly uncooperative, especially when it comes to discontinued shock models...
Does ANYONE know where I can take my Koni shocks for revalving???

i have found KONI to be very cooperative and a great company in general.. i havent had any problems with them. me and quite a few of my friends..almost all of them.. are running koni shocks. this is after we all tried different shocks and spring rates between us. we determined for a daily driver/weekend racer we benefited the most out out of the KONIs, no matter what the spring rates were. thats a pretty versatile shock.

well back to the question at hand.. KONI will revalve your "old" shocks. me and my buddy both got it done when we went with "crazy" rates.. it was quite expensive but the overall outcome was fantastic. have you tried emailing or calling them?

I have only heard good things about koni myself, I think my issues with them had to do with discontinued parts, low availability and high price leading me to look for alternatives if there are any...oh and I don't like/want to see my shocks on a shelf collecting dust for years...
