Not sure I follow the question. If you currently have a set of stock MR struts, then you don't need a re-valve if you want to maintain a stock strut setup. You then may need just a rebuild in which they go through the internals and replace anything that is worn. In most cases people get a rebuild because one of the struts is leaking or otherwise has failed to function properly.

I did have the Robi springs installed by Bilstein and they did it up side down on the fronts, and told me they wouldn't fit the other way, that the perches weren't the correct size. That seemed odd to me because I know they were designed for that perch. I contacted Robi and he said the progressive portion, tight coils, go on bottom and that it mattered. So I took them apart and flipped them around. They fit perfectly fine, so I don't know what Bilstein was doing there.

^^so there's no matching the rates needed. it's basically a bolt on lowering spring and what matter is the alignment and corner balancing.

Stock Bilsteins match the springs very nicely. Wouldn't change it for a road oriented car. Track oriented may be worthwhile.

There is no one set of numbers. They are highly adjustable, and Bilstein didn't have a (RobiSpec) setup. If you are trying to get the perfect setup you may want to contact Robert but the reason you aren't finding a post with 13/3 -6 is because there is no such thing. Welcome to the world of suspension tuning.

If you are not tracking the car as primary, then leave the valving stock and throw the springs on, get a good alignment.

corner balancing is for race cars.

Hell of a deal. I remember buying springs directly from Robert probably about 4 years ago and I paid 200+shipping for them which is still a good buy IMO but for <$100, that is crackhead pricing!

Hell of a deal. I got mine from Robi about 3-4 years ago as well. I paid 200ish as well. Performance wise, these are really awesome springs.

I may stash away another set if they work out well. I will be replacing a 90K miles OEM KBY set with a slightly used Bilstien set and these.
