Are they adjusting the valving for the incoming shipment or just tossing in different springs?

Damper casings are made specifically for each vehicle, since suspension travel needs to be accounted for and clearance for other suspension components.
Yes, this was the first set that came in based on Japan's specs.
Valving is key to a properly engineered coilover setup, with also Spring consistency to aid the overall performance of the coilover.
Also - the dampers are threaded to offer independent height adjustment utilizing the brackets, not the spring...
