I don't know, I guess it's the kid in me, but ever sturt I've ever gotten, I've compressed them by hand to check them out. I checked the Bilsteins, then the koni's. Now I just got the Bilsteins back from Bilstein after being revalved stiffer and good lord they are stiff, much stiffer than I remember the other's being. Dang I can't wait to get them on the car to test them, but I don't know when I'm gonna have the time to do it:rolleyes:

Yes I know, and I've had all to much practice in doing it. But I don't own the tools I need, they belong to my brother. He won't let me use them with out him being their. He's the problem. And since he's such a big help to me, I don't want to rock his boat.

Yasu, the revalving costs $55 per strut, plus of course what it cost to buy the struts in the first place. If you purchase the struts from shox.com and have them sent out directly to Bilstein to revalve, it cost's $65, per sturt, go figure. Which is a little odd since Bilstein is located just a few blocks from shox.com.
