they are pretty easy, but you really need to understand how to shim so you are better taking it to someone and telling them what you want, if you were just sericing, ie changing oil and seals you would do it no worries

You should talk to Laurie at German Autos at Geebung. (07) 3865 5457
Lots of experience through offroad racing. You wont be able to get him for a week or so though because he would be off at the Finke desert race this weekend.

Isn't it just a matter of getting them setup correctly?

yeah different thicknesses of shims, different sized holes / number of holes, combination of shims etc, its a bit of an art form.

anyone who does shocks for race and rally should be able to do it for you, try any local bilstein dealers and if they dont do it they will know who will

Try Fulcrum Suspensions, they rebuild Koni's / Bilsteins and others. They may be able to do something for you.

There's a great place I took my konis to years ago, in Virginia. I think they're called WW Shock Absorbers. They would be able to rebuild them for you to spec.
