I know of places for Koni shocks, True Choice and T.C. Kline come to mind.
But who builds custom Bilstein shocks? I can't find anybody.

I cannot stress strongly enough to what the link say's and avoid email and call him directly at 408-221-8247
Here's a link to follow to look at Shaikh past post's on Miata.net

He recently joined this site to reply to the thread I mentioned above, here's his profile link, again call him on the phone, a pm really will not work.

I just sent him my Bilstein Pss9 dampers for revalving.
Curious, are you thinking about revavling HD's, Pss, Pss9 or adapting non Z specific Bilstein shock?

For the moment it would be HD's to be single adjustable.
Thanks for the info. I searched on Google and didn't find anything. I read these forums religiously and had never heard of him.
EDIT: Just realised it was the "Can I has Input" thread that I avoided because of the title. Oops.

I've been working with Gsedan35 on revalving/improving his PSS9 setup to work better for his custom rates and am also starting to talk with Brian Flanagan about his 350Z. Our plan is to get a set of HDs and begin building both a G35 and 350Z package, likely including adjustable shocks with a very wide adjusting range for low-speed bleed, just what you need for autocrossing. Remote reservoirs with compression adjustment are also in the works.
Beau... You might want to check out the ZEAL Super Function "A" shocks. They may be a little more expensive than the Bilstiens, but I think you'll like the independant height adjustment of the ZEAL's over the Bilsteins which you have to preload the springs to adjust height.

Yes, and I am very excited about things to come!

Shaikh seems very knowledgable, give him a call. On the phone. Seriously.
