No. From my understanding, getting the revalved bilstiens are like getting the Konis at a particular setting unadjustable. They may even be able to go beyond the koni settings if wanted?

Is it safe to put some lowering springs on with the revalved shocks? Will the revalved blisteins handle some hotchkis springs?

That's what I do Revalves for, each set is valved to the use/and spring rate of the car. The idea is to get you the damping needed.

Sam i will call you next week i need to know what i should order.
Do the revalved blisteins provide as good of a ride, as far as comfort, as the konis(single adjustables)? Or is it better just to spend the extra 210 for the konis?
Do either of these come with a warranty of somekind? I remeber reading that some people installed konis, then they went out a short time later. I am BROKE, so i cant afford that happening to me.
Thanks!

Konis you can tune to you liking, Revalves you can't. You depend on me to set them up to your liking. I'm pretty good, but I'll never claim I'm perfect. Further Koni's have a lifetime warranty, the Revalves do not.

Unless you do something stupid to break them, they will replace a broken one if you need it. They will not just arbitrarily just send you 4 new ones for no reason.

One of the rear adjusters on my friend's cars broke the hell off on us. They sent him a new one no problem, he simply had to send the broken one back after he got it swapped.
