Creating a Remedy Slopestyle

After riding Whistler on a Slopestyle bike, it occured to me why not make my bike a Slopestyle? Intense, Rocky Mountain, Jamis, Norco, and other manufactures have thier own Slopestyle bikes, why not a Trek. So what would the modifications would be required? Simple, change the 8.0 X 2.25 air shock to a 7.875X2.25 coil shock. What would the effects be? A slackened Head Angle of about 66.5 degrees (from 67 degrees) and a lowered Bottom Bracket hieght of about 13.6 inches. (from 13.8 inches). So the parts are on order and we will see if this mod dishes out what I hope it does. Here is what I got coming in:

1) Fox DHX Coil 4.0 7.875X2.25 (Source: RockyMountain Cycles) (Push is still a possibility right now, TBD)
2) Fox rear shock mounting hardware (Source: Fox Racing Shocks)
3) Fox Steele 350lbsX2.45 Coil Spring (Source: Cambria Bicycle Outfitters)

Here is what the bike should look like when completed:


BTW, the Remedy is already fully capable out the box. The only reason for the conversion is aftermarket improvements. If you can tune something to make it better, stronger, faster.... why not?
