I didn't watch the video. But, from what experience I've had, working on things mechanical (not necessarily forks) is that trying to convert to something other than the original purpose or design, doesn't usually turn out all that great. If you have a Suntour coil fork and would rather have air, check Suntour's upgrade policy to see if you might qualify.
