Do I need to revalve the Bilstein Sports?

I am replacing my REAR shocks. Currently I have Koni adjustable, but I am thinking about going with Bilstein Sports. In case I do so, do I need to send the Bilsteins to revalve, for my setup? Or are they stiff enough?

My car is a '76 911 with 3.6 engine. It weight 2750 lbs with me on it. I am currently running 22mm front and 30mm rear torsion bars, with adjustable Smartracing sway bars.

I plan to keep the adjustable Konis on the front.

Thanks in advance for the help

Why don't you want to renew or adjust your Konis ?

Hi Mario,

Bilstein Sports will work OK right out of the box, but they can work a LOT better with custom valving.

Steve, do you offer a front spindle raising service?

It's in the 50s here but I'm sure we'll have snow on the ground in January.
