Does anyone know if there is a kit to change race runner airshocks to coil overs or do you have to replace the hole shock....

Give chris a ring and tell him you were speaking to Justin about getting your airshocks threaded to accept dual rate coil hardware.you might have to send them to him or buy the hardware and get someone to tap a thread on.
That's what he's doing to my redbacks

Give me a call (sig) as I can probably get you coilovers at the right price & then you can sell the airs & be better off with a much better result.

coilover/airshock hybrids are easier to setup.
you get the coil rate fairly right and then adjust it unitl its spot on with the nitrogen levels in the air shock.
Alot easier than buyin new coils and its cheaper than buying all new coilovers

Matt all you need to do is make the Airshocks actually work like a shock, there is a small modification to make on the piston of the shock and then the compression and rebound damping settings are endless.

Ballistic Coilover hybrid is exactly what I was leaning towards as they are less expensive than traditional coilover
Sell SAW airshocks, Buy Hybrids & coils ............ DONE
less headache, just my 2c

Iv made the rear heaps better now with reoil and pressure also pulled one more grub drew out of the piston to help rebound and shock .... Rides heaps better but haven't tryed it Off road yet

Tony is refering to blocking those orrifices off matt not opening them up if you want to change the rebound then pull some shims from the rebound side of the piston atleast this wont affect compression, and i would have thought you would be trying to slow down the rebound and decrease the compression dampening not sure what you want to do but if your after less unloading thats what id be doing.
