So I've read lots of threads about this but just need to confirm something.

I have revelation 426's I think 08 or 09. 130-100mm travel air u-turn thing. 9mm qr if that makes a difference?

I'm not massively impressed with air suspension and they seep oil into the negative chamber and leak from the -ve chamber.

So was thinking of converting to coil with a 140 coil u-turn spring from a sektor, plus a top cap and I believe I need a -ve top out spring as well.

Does this seem right, will it work? any suggestions?

You don't have a groove at the bottom of the spring side stantion to allow the negative spring assm. to be fitted.
It is possible to fit one elsewhere however you're likely to lose 5 to 10mm travel.

travel is right and states it's for the revelation.

what else would i need? a preload top cap it suppose, anything else?
