i know one shop that revalves the bilsteins here in NY, Anze suspension for some of the porsche guys but i would assume you are looking at whatever the bilsteins cost $150? and then add at least 200 possibly 300 or more for the revalve, i mean just a rebuild with changing oil is 200, adding shims and revalving and dynoing and readjusting has to be expensive. at that point your close to 500 a corner, might as well just buy a nice set. i think at the track one of the guys was saying 575 or so a corner for penskes he was having developed for his new M2.
Yeah I feel like MCS/Moton/AST has done a great job at marketing to the sports car racing series - they're on a pedestal and in my fairly uninformed opinion I think overrated. Same goes for KWs, I will probably go with Ohlins or Bilstein next.
