what i was getting at is that i can buy new ones for less than that without having to wait on turnaround time, that's all. i don't know much about the subject so i will clam up now.

You can buy new ones, but they won't be custom valved, unless you pay more.

JD, which shocks can be revalved?

A shorter spring is a stiffer spring, and you are a faggot.

Right.

That's the actual length of the coiled rod not free height of the spring, the way it was described last time was with an analogy about leverage, trying to bend a 1ft iron rod versus trying to bend a 4ft iron rod.

That's with a linear spring though, as said before if you cut off the "dead" coils or the ones wound tighter/ with a different diameter on a progressive spring you'd have to work out what your spring rate would be from that point on.
