SLP's are production shocks that are not HD's and each one is just like the last one. They are valved a bit differently, but with SLP springs in mind, and with a comfort factor in mind.
Strano Revalves are built from scratch for the front of the car, and the valving is TBD until we can talk about the parts on the car. What springs, bars, use of the car, wheels and tires, etc. The rear shocks are generally not revalved, but are also *NOT* 4th gen HD's. Most rear springs for this car are very, very similar where most fronts are not. And it so happens there is a ready-made shock for the rear that works well in most cases. BUT NOT ALL CASES. Some springs are just too heavy to be controlled by the shock I use in the rear. When that happens, we use Koni's. To revalve all 4 shocks puts you @ Koni prices and you'd end up with non adjustable shocks in the end.
Which is right for you? Can't say. Have to discuss it with you (and not by e-mail).
