I agree w/ driven, there is no one best solution, it depends on the knowledge and skill of the re-builder in matching the needs of the end user.

The best modern race shocks are going to be digressive but they will also have high/med and low adjustments that are separate from each other and rebound /compression settings that are separate from each other. Or they will have a tractor trailer full of shock parts and a dyno to dial in what they need ala NASCAR.

You won't be unhappy w/ Billstein hd all around, I like hd/sport a little better and would probably like a digressive revalve on the street car even more.

The thing that amazes me is that my 993 w/ full RSR race suspension and digressive revalve on the Bilstein Cup shocks rides every bit as well as the street car w/ bone stock suspension and Bilstein hd/sport and handles worlds better to boot.

Steve Weiner mentioned a while back the Bilstein San Diego is no longer doing 911 revalves only 964 and newer motor sport shocks, I don't know the truth of that as it doesn't make sense to me. I do know that the oe Bilstein 911 shocks are not supposed to be rebuildable.
