I have the skills to convert them I am just missing the understanding, can someone help??
Hi

I have been thinking about doing this, yes you will need shorter inserts.
Have a look on venom motorsports web site, they list all sorts of suspension from different manufactures.

Springs are tricky, I think I read somewhere 8" to 10" for the length, the rates are the hardest bit I think to work out, maybe 280lbs/in to 350lbs/in for road/track day cars, might be worth asking Demon Tweeks for advice as I may be out.

Compbrake also supply coilover kits and top mounts.
