Re-valving Bilsteins

Can someone give me some info on this?

Just lookin' for an idea of the cost as well as do they change the seals (I assume they would) and the mounting bushings?

Also, any info on places that do it that I can call for quotes. Southern Cali is prefered.

You're in luck: Bilstein Motorsports is located in So Cal (Poway, San Diego county). They can do the revalves for you and dyno testing, etc. Other Cali shops that offer this service are Smart Racing Products (in the bay area) and Mirage (in San Diego). They all have their own ideas on what is best for your 911, given your weights, spring rates, and intended use. I can't say who is best, I bought my car with Bilsteins that were revalved by Smart Racing and I am very pleased with the handling - the dampers appear to be very well matched to the larger torsion bars.

Thanks Cory! I just called Bilstein. Much cheaper than I thought. That's good news
