KW re-valve / re-spring

So after having my KW V3s for a few years I'm looking to change spring rates and have the dampers re-valved, largely because I'm still struggling with persistent and significant understeer and the car has just never felt how I expected it to. I want to at least stiffen up the rear springs and have the KWs re-valved to match - for reasons I won't go into here (feel free to PM me) I specifically do not want to go back to Robi. Anyone have recommendations on whom to turn to? I'd prefer to keep the KWs than sell them and go with another setup entirely...

My car is regularly autocrossed / tracked but is also my street car - I don't mind living with a rough ride but it has to be reasonably streetable. On spring rates, I'm preliminarily looking at 10k/12k F/R but need to research that further (open to opinions here too).

I would give them a call. They also redo KW.

My brother was going to use them for his STI but Robi was local to us. I have the Robi KW Race.

The other reason I recommended RCE is they are near to you. If you are in NY, they might only be a few hours away.
