I've never done it, but I'm sure someone with the right equipment could do it. I've thought about doing it, since I have that extra set. But I have it on eBay right now. Maybe if they don't sell I'll try it if I get time.

Yes. We have cut the pocket and moved it up, so they could be used with an air bag... From what we experienced, it should be the same amount of work to make it function with a coil spring too (if that's what your asking?).
