Default Coilovers: overhaul or replace?

Hi all, I have a 2004 GT3 CS fitted with Bilstein PSS9’s since new. now done 60,000 km with many, many club level track and targa events.

some movement in one of the front struts, so time to either send to Bilstein for a complete overhaul or to replace.
.....an interesting question whether an overhaul is perhaps throwing good money after bad etc? Thoughts?

If I do go for new, Most people seem to now prefer the KW system, over the PSS10’s. Appreciated.

Since you are in australia, you may want to talk to Supashock here in Adelaide. They have tested with F1 and supply many of the V8 supercars team. They can do bespoke for just about anything.
