"Front springs need to be progressive, but no more than 300lb. I think it may have been less than that. Front shocks need LOTS more rebound and also more slow compression. Fast bump is fine, the compression damping curve is too linear. Rear springs 400-450lb linear and the shocks just need the rebound tweaked, but are pretty good."
I have no idea whether the swift springs are progressive and do I simply ask the Bilstein reconditioner to do what is stated above?

Given the rears sound more difficult to reco, I will keep them stock as it sounds like most of the improvement comes from the front anyway.
As I will end up with 2 sets of second hand billies (mine and the ones that come with the springs), how can I tell which ones are in the best condition? The rears I am referring to.
Cheers,

$430 per pair to recondition
$500 per pair if bearings need to be replaced
$600 per pair to include re-valve
