OTS Ohlins R/T DFV valving
I think GTworx sells them. PM Andrew on here or give them a call and talk to Myles and one of them should be able to help you out.
As for the Cusco stuff have you tried going direct? They have a location in California so it shouldnt be too difficult to source them. I've spoken with them before and they were helpful so that would be my recommendation.

I have the Ohlin PCVs which are the prior version of what the DFV is now, valved the same with the same OEM rates. I have had the rears rebuilt & revalved by Ohlins in NC last year, since I went up substantially in rate, sending the fronts in this fall. They sent back the shocks with dyno plots as well, as I wanted them valved for the specific rate (not just 'in range') so that I had USABLE shock dampening, not stuck on full stiff just to control the spring.
Great shocks though, & good luck.

spring rate consistency is important too:

ive read a few mentions of them having better "frequency" (which i believe is basically reaction to things like bumps) but never found any hard data on that.

While one may argue that Swift springs are superior to others on the market, I find it hard to believe that you would notice a difference is you kept the same rates.
The springs that come on the Ohlins are quality springs, I believe they're made by Eibach. Now if you were swapping springs that came on your Megans, BC, Tein or other low end pick your favorite color coilovers then sure the better springs may be noticeable.
Its your car and your $ so Im not going to tell you not to do it. Im just trying to offer some feedback as I feel you'll be much better off spending that $ elsewhere.
