    You can get them valved before they leave the states. There;ss plenty of discussion on valving plus the guys at L8 and E-shocks have sold them for plenty of rover applications and know the valving pretty well.

    Ever priced heasman revalving? I can buy a new shock shipped cheaper than valving one.

    Ive had Heasman revalve and modify a couple of times, I still wouldnt recommend a buggy shock over a road shock, even just the maintenance it too high in comparison. I've got both, and the road shocks have never had to come out for anything. The buggys (6100) have been out several times, not everybody minds doing that and spending each time, but most will want an effective shock in there that does its job well and can be forgotten about, which is not a buggy shock.
    Cheers

    Trust me, there's valving and there's valving, but if they had access to the valving code for the stock DII dampers and they can do that before leaving the US that'd be great.

    I use Gary and Mick Baker in Melbourne, they really, really know their stuff and don't charge like the proverbial.
    Heasmans are OTT with their pricing, and I had some re-valving issues with Quadrant too, although they used to be good to me with shock pricing.
    I haven't had any Billies done a for quite a few years as I've been running Koni's and re-valve myself

    I'm actually looking at the Fox remote shocks. Having purchased some koni raids and on sold them at a not insignificant profit.

    Fox do a bolt in for Landies using urethane bushes and an adjuster for bump on the can, but they are only stock stroke. [edit] I think they might only suit Deefer/RRc type suspension, but it would still be worth checking out.

    Down South Motorsports seem to be about the best on Fox pricing in the US and ship here.

    I've never dealt with them but they seem to have a reasonable rep.
