There aren't that many people with them for Wizard to have done "a lot" of them. At around 6k per set they are out of most people's price range.

Have you spoken to Pete about setting them up and who he would recommend?

Pete just filled them till it lifted an inch or so above my intended ride height, it then settled to what i wanted. Think it was 340 or something in the fronts. But thatll obviously vary on weight of the car..

The fact they are a Race "Jacker" makes them no different to set up than a standard Race Runner shock. The Jacker section although incorperated in the shock is totaly seperate to the shock it's self. And has no effect on how the shock is set up. Air shocks are a trial and error set up. No 2 vehicles will ever be set up the same. As Joshy said you need to fill them to your ride height and then add or remove psi to suit. The amount of oil you use will make a difference on your bump stop and the oil weight will change how the shock reacts.

First person i would call is Pete to get a recommendation on who to talk to in Brisbane. But anyone who deals in offroad racing should be able to help you out.

Hang on a sec i just realised your talking about the Coil over race runners. Ive had no experiance with them and my above comment was regarding race runner air shocks. Call Pete.
