Here are the assembled front coilovers. Even though they are not externally adjustable, Bilstein custom-valved them just for our ’68. According to Steve, “With the Bilstein deflective-disc valving, the shock already has built-in adjustability. As suspension speeds increase, more plates come into play slowing the flow of oil past the piston. Another key factor is that the oil flows through different passages in the piston for rebound and compression. This allows for two distinctly different valving stacks to be used. Typically, a shock will have less valving on compression to allow the suspension to collapse and absorb the bump, but now you have a massive amount of energy built up in the spring that must be controlled, so the rebound valving is much higher to slow it down.” View Related Article
