Remember you get what you pay for, I recently got KWV3 and glad I spend that extra cash rather than settling for some cheap randon coils IMO.

If buddy club re-valves, I don't think they do, then that may be a cheaper route.

Bilstein service prices can be found here: Bilstein service price list.

FYI... I had a set of PSS revalved to accomodate custom springs. It ran me about $350 with $100 going towards a one time conversion of the rear shocks to make them easily rechargable. I would estimate doing the same to PSS9s would run close to $600 to have Bilstein do it.

I'm quite happy with the result as they perform awesome on street, autoX, and track.

I would consider konis as well, KW v3's seem like a great package.. the V2's sound like a decent option but I don't think you can get them revalved

there a lot of options but we need to remember also pricing - otherwise just go for Motons/Ohlins and that's it.
KW3 is 30% more than Monoflex.
PSS9+revalving pyts them ~ at Monoflex price.

the best option is to find guys near you with setups you're looking into and try them.

what i don't understand about KWs is softness of their springs.
i see at our local auto-x Miatas with KWs they have quite a firm ride but a lot of body roll - i don't understand the point of such setup.
i would prefer comfortable ride with minimal body roll.

Comfort and minimal body roll are inversely related.
