Lightbulb DIY Shock Revalve Series: BC Racing BR shock dismantle & Revalve w/ Bilstein parts

Since the BC Racing BR coil over cartridges/ inserts have pretty much the same dimensions across lexus/totyota model family (GS300,SC300,Supra,LS400, ES300) I thought to post this for those that may be interested (DIY'ers). As long as the BC racing cartridge's piston is 46mm in diameter the same can apply.

PART 1: - The Mathematical Equations to derive your needed goals (natural freq., Motion ratios, etc)
PART 2: - Disassembly of the shock cartridge body
PART 3: - Re-Valving with Bilstein internal parts
BONUS PART: - Revalve/matching Ohlins sportline shocks damping ratios & Other shock manufacturer data graphs.

Cool.. if you have any questions, please feel free to post there. My hopes are for everyone to realize how easy it can be to revalve their shocks/coilovers with quality parts.

I have finished the passenger side and had it dynoed, but I think a mistake may have been made in prepping the dyno. The data for that shock dyno does not add up. I will have it performed again just to make sure and plan to post that result also.
