I was looking at Macr88's work and wondered if we could get an advantage to just swapping out springs street and track, using the cobb to give more ramp. The roads are rough here and I want a little bleed but good control. I haven't bought the shocks. Almost got a cheap set of Ohlins, but they have the single control for both reb and comp.

I think the PSS's come with the COB digressive valving that you're talking about.
No, but I do know mine were digressive with a check valve. The older digressive pistons didn't have a check valve.
I can take a pic the when I see them again but it might not be for sometime.
I suggest contacting Bret Norgaard at Bilstein in the Poway, California office. Back in 2003, the revalve service was $55 for their HD shocks, $100 for PSS9 adjustable shocks, and somewhere in between for non-adjustable PSS shocks. The current rate for HD shocks is $65.

I just wanted to post up a bit more info I found out about the SOS top hats.
The gain that would be had by flipping the top hat over, this was recommended by Chris at SOS.
Not a good idea and it's good that it won't even fit due to the large diameter of the pillow ball
carrier. Never flip a top hat, the designed carrying loads are completely different and I was
amazed he even mentioned that. This was his only resolution to this problem I was having.
This wear inside the top hat was due to the pillow ball being loose in the top hat causing
knocking that sounded like either a bad pillow ball or loose shock nut.
This is the wear from 3 days of use and was most likely caused by using the shorter screws
that hold the pillow ball in place inside the top hat.
This one was fine.
I guess they ran out of the longer screws that hold in the pillow ball. The one that was making noise
had the shorter screws.
The factory bump stop was what was used with stock top hats and Bilsteins. The tires use to just
barely touch the fender liner over large bumps.
The black bump stop is what I had to use with the SOS top hats and I'm nowhere near touching
the fender liner at full bump.
