Default Bilsteins revalved like Koni 3013s?

Has anyone revalved a set of off the shelf cheapie Bilsteins like Koni 3013s? If this is possible, I would like the rebound dampening on the fronts to be about 3/4 of the available adjustment on the 3013s, and the rears to be 1/4 of the available adjustment on the 3013s.

This would be for a square set up (285 RS3s or 315 Rivals), stock C5 Z06 springs, 35mm front bar, and Hotchkis rear bar (25mm?). Primary use of the car is autocross and street.

My only reason for doing this is I don't want to deal with breaking Koni adjusters, and I'm not good enough of a driver to justify Penskes, JRis, JRZs, Motons, etc.

Thanks!

Do you mean that the DRM-valved Bilsteins have the valving of a Koni 3013, or just that re-valving Bilsteins is possible?

Thanks!

I have no idea what the valving is like on the konis. Bilsteins can be revalved.
