ebay shock absorbers

[mcnoople]

I remember reading a post about buying adjustable rebuildable shock absorbers off of ebay. Now I can't find the post. It discussed changing the amount of oil in the shock and charging them using mountain bike shock pumps. I was just hoping someone know how to find the post or knows who originally posted it so that I can search by poster. i am looking to change the shocks on my crossfire 150 and want to do some research/reading. Thanks in advance.

You know we have alot of people on this site who fab things, has anyone ever thought about trying to fab up a custom coil over shock setup? and how or would it benifit us?

Maybe some different type rubber shock spacers like they use in nascar to adjust the rate of stiffness and rebound?

I can't remember where I found it ,but I looked at a post where someone modified a pair of stock shocks by drilling a hole and draining the oil and replacing it with better and more oil then filling the hole with some sort of valve or something. I was interested in trying this but can't find the post again. I'm not even sure what forum I saw this on. I know, I know, I know. Why would I ever go to another forum besides this one? This was before I found this wonderful forum full of Mad Geniuses.

think that was xlint who modded the e-bay shocks, those are chinese built sold by e-day id "ophiro" I bought old fox shocks and rebuilt them--service manuals are free pdfs and all the parts can still be gotten. i have a 300 psi risse racing shock pump--same as the one fox sells that i use for pressurizing them.
