What shocks seem to work in a no-rules situation? Currently running bilstein coilovers. Can these be re-valved to be better? or, is there another tried and true choice for roadracing?

They can... But they are pretty good just the way they are IMO.

How about a bit more info on the other parts of the suspension.

My ITA/STL car have Stewart Development ReValve ... Bernie has taken a lot of heat on all the boards , but my shocks work much better than the set I had that had not been ReValved ... Much better on high speed / bumpy sweepers
I would love to try some Afcos , Penske 7500 , AST , JZR , Ohlin ... But I don't think my current shocks are holding me back too much , they just limit my tuning and cost a couple of grand less
