I've heard of people getting their stock bilstein struts re-valved? Can anyone inform me what this is for, who would do it, rough cost, etc? I'm thinking about a tubular k-member for the cobra and would be going with a coil-ever setup.
Re-valve Struts??

You can not re-valve a strut, it is a sealed unit. If you want new ones juts buy them new.
It depends on the spring rate you are going to use. It might just be worth it to purchase new struts and shocks, but if you call Maximum Motorsports, they can give you some great information. If you have a Vert, you will definitely need new struts and shocks since the OEM set is matched to the softer springs on that car.
As an FYI, here's a look into a Bilstein strut:

I just re-built two of them with brand new housings, but left the valving as they are (you do have to send them in for that), which is from the 2000 Cobra R.
...and the post above is wrong...
