Default Re-valving Bilstein's

Who, where, how much and what all can they do?
Need adjustability for damping, helper springs and pillow ball mounts.

Thanks, Ed.

Run the bils out of the box, will work fine unless you want insane rates.

Jack.
Had another meeting w/sgT last night, ... Hondata will be in the house!
Going down to SMSP tonight for that used header test cat-back.

Hmmm... do I "need" to have it sleeved, ... for those new rods and pistons!?
Well, depends if 1 bar is enough, or whether I'd like to try for 20 psi.

They've been on since last june, but now with the Azenis on the car, I need more "control" and some more rebound (at least) in the back.

Otherwise I'm swapping to Mugen N0, Apexi B6 or some other "true" coilovers.

check out http://www.bilstein.com and contact them to see how much revalving will cost. I know bilsteins have adjustable compression and rebound (adjusted together) for euro cars (bmw, vw, etc.) so they can probably alter yours to have the same features. HTH.

I "think" Shocktech (sp) used to do this kind of thing. Not sure if they are still in the busness or not. They used to offer a conversion to double or single adjustable i believe.

Hey - we can say '****' here.

Shouldn't that word be censored too because it is rude in Canada and the UK/Ireland?
