Capturing nitrogen from coilovers?

[The Unknown]

Is this a thing or does everyone just bleed them off to atmosphere and refill when needed? I just received my Fox's and am ready to mock up into my chassis but with 200psi in them that isn't going to happen. Just curious what everyone else does in this situation? Whatever the case, thanks and Merry Christmas.

Just release it and recharge.

if you don't have a bottle and regulator you'll want to invest in them.

Yes, sir. I am actually in the process of acquiring the parts to complete my recharge kit. Just wasn't sure if one could use it (or if it is even worth it) to capture what is in them now.

not sure how you'd do that as the tank pressure usually is quite a bit higher then the pressure in the shocks.

My tank is currently empty.

My tank is currently empty.

grab an old ac compressor and get to hacking it together.

It doesn't matter, you are not going to "capture" all the nitrogen from the shocks and then recycle it back into them at a later date from your empty tank. Let it out into the atmosphere and spend $25 to get the tank refilled so you can charge them back up when you are ready to throw the springs on and use them.

Yup, that seems like the way to go but figured I'd ask those more knowing than myself before I purged them out. I appreciate all the responses guys.
