They will still rebuild though

 

just wanted to bump this again so is there somewhere in the pnw that could rebuild the mr bilsteins? and how much?

 

I am curious about this too. Who revalves them? And is there any shop doing a revalve for a specific spring combo?

 

FEAL suspension out of Ontario (socal) will rebuild/revalve as needed. Those guys know what's up when it comes to shocks and valving. They have been rebuilding and tuning all sorts of stuff for all sorts of motorsports for quite a while now. I've been very happy with their service.

Find them at http://www.rallyracingsuspension.com/

 

Awesome! Im certainly going to check them out.
Though the more I've looked into it I think instead of buying new springs and paying to ship my struts out and having them revalved and shipped back I may just get coilovers with fairly soft springs and revalved for them..

 

fat cat motorsports

 

Yup thats the route i went with and the added adjustability well i was sold

 

Nice I am glad they are in the Mistsu game. I had Feal revalve some Ohlins on a Subaru and I was happy with the work.

 

this thread reminds me of my KW nightmare. bought a brand new set just to find out NOBODY revalves them any more LOL. fail.

 

^KW is offering rebuild/revalve out of their new facility in Clovis, CA per this article:

It's funny you mention that. This is how i found out about Feal. When i looked at the cost for the springs i wanted + revalving the Bilsteins + shipping i started to re-think it.

You may want to take a peek at Feal's 441 coilover in that case. Off the shelf, they use linear 8k/8k Swifts, and the valving is on point. Rides better than stock KYBs.

 

Ill check it out. But I know three people that work there and swear they don't. Hm....

 

Does Feal offer different spring rates and valving for them?

Because of our multilink rear I'd really like at least 1k more spring in the rear if not 2k..

If they are in the ball park of the cost of the Fortune Auto's I could be persuaded to try them.

 

KW only revalves their motorsports coilovers. None of the street ones. Bummer

 

^Damn, that is a bummer. Thanks for following up.

OP, the 8/8 is just the mild, off the shelf spec. They build them in house, and can build to order. Drop them a line, and speak to the owner, Odi.

Feal and Fortune have a similar formula in that they actually build their own stuff, rather than just another company doing private label Taiwanese coilovers. I ended up choosing the Feals based off some very valid referrals, all of which varied widely- a manufacturer who has been using them to service their own shocks, a couple guys who have been successfully using them in competition, and a few guys who use them for motorsports grade (Ohlins, etc) damper tuning/rebuilds for themselves and their customers.

 

For sure. I sold mine off and picked up some ASTs. At least I know of a few places that should be willing to rebuild and revalve them, if the need arises.
