Who rebuilds Bilteins
Where can I have my original 94 bilsteins rebuilt? They have low miles but I suspect time has not been good to them.

I tried to find info on Bilstein's website on rebuilding. There isn't even a way to contact Bilstein there.
Do you think it's possible to revalve them to get a softer ride? The car is just a weekend cruiser for me and I know it's a sports car and the ride is supposed to be stiff but it gets annoying after a while when every little crack in the road rattles the heck out of the car.

most likely they can redo the compression valving, but the rebound will be the same.

Bilstein Part #'s
Not to hijack the thread here, but I have an LT4 with Z51 suspension. It has Bilstein shocks on it. Is there a part or model number on the shocks anywhere or do any of you guys know what shock part number went with the Z51 package. ( Good to know when it comes time to decide weather to rebuild or replace. )

You better check that, they have some type of disclaimer about that. I have spoke to them on rebuilding my FX3 shocks and I did ask just what you are suggesting. From what I remember it does not work that way.
