Integra IDA, do we think it matters much (if any at all what) the gas pressure on the shock is when it goes in a spring smasher? I need to smash some springs but I don't have the bottle to charge my shocks yet.

Great question that I've wonderd myself...at least in what others do. I think it matters to an extent as I've seen the gas pressure add 15-20 lbs. (if I recall correctly). I've smashed them with the shraders removed, but more often than not just leave the pressures as is.
Running them in an auto machine, versus stopping at a length, will have a bigger impact than worrying about the rod pressure. If you can tell 25# difference at say 3", you are better than I.Quote:

I use air pressure for the testing and when you get a N20 bottle, flush it twice and call it good.
