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.
You likely only have an IDA on the RR, smash away and touch it up a turn... as needed, when you get your nitro.
I use air pressure for the testing and when you get a N20 bottle, flush it twice and call it good.
