MR Bilstein rebuild question?

Hi All,

I was wondering if you suspension gurus out there could offer an opinion on some used MR Bilsteins I bought for my SE. Upon closer inspection I noticed one of the strut Rods needs replacement. The bilstein factory offers rebuilds along with revalves so... When I take the struts/shocks in for rebuild and inspection/testing should I have a revalve done? I was thinking of maybe adding more compression dampening after say 50% into "down" stroke will maintain street ride quality then offer more stiffness when driving more aggressively. I really don't go to the track yet but I might be getting into it later on. I have owned KYB suspension in the past and it is simply too stiff and too much rebound? for the street. Anyway let me know what you guys think and why please?
I could just leave them alone but why waste an opportunity for custom valving as it is included pretty much with the price of the rebuild. I have already commited $ to these so please don't tell me to buy coilovers.

PS anyone know if it is true that K-sport has suspension for Evo that's made by Koni? If so which model out of curiousity
TIA

Anyone have any opinions on what to possibly change on Bilsteins (MR ones) valving?
