    Shock revalving?

    How does that work exactly? I'd like to bump up to GCs in the near future and I'd like to have my Bilsteins revalved.

    Btw, I'm horrible with suspension, but can you revalve a blown shock? I'm not sure what exactly happens when you revalve, if you basically rebuild an entire shock or what.

    Who can revalve shocks and how much does that usually run for?

    Thanks,
    Erick

    Edit: Nevermind I found some info on Bilstein's site. My question now is..... how do I know what I should revalve the shocks to?

      yo d00d. You can have blown shocks rebuilt and revalved. I am unsure how they determine how much to revalve though. I believe its between $65 and $80 per shock to have them revalved.

          That is a question that requires a lot of information and a knowledge of the terminology used to express shock damping values. I don't even know the terminology other than in ad copy terms.
