Revalved for compression and rebound. Springs were ok for my weight. New seals/fluids.

Notice anything different about the braking? Good/bad/indifferent?

Less initial bite, still has good control, no brake fade. I ran them on lightning and thunderbolt. No complaints. It may be going through pads more quickly but two track days isn't enough to say just yet.
