I ended up with the request to increase rebound 20% and compression 10% if I recall correctly. I didn't alter compression much because it would be possible to program the shock controller to stiffen the setting at a lower speed...it was the floaty rebound that needed the correction. If you search my name here and 'bilstein' the post should come up.
I hear they aren't keen on rebuilding these shocks anymore, but might custom valve brand new unit$.

This being a Corvette and ZR-1 at that, I was thinking it couldn't possibly have bounced this much when new. My plan in general is to keep this Z stock but also will be doing more autocross and track days with it. Do you think stock valving/rebound/compression would be sufficient? It must be much better than what I'm experiencing now.
