Im going tommorrow to check out a set of Coils and KYB GR2 shock/struts. they are off the car and would like to know how to check them out if they are blown, if i press down on them, should the be stiff, come back up fast/slow, etc.... The guy said "one of them takes a little longer to get back up" what could that mean and how would it affect the ride.

Thanks

they are not supposed to get back up are they ?

because when I installed springs on stock struts last year, they didnt LOL

Stock struts aren't gas charged, the KYB's and most other ones are.

the KYB GR2 shock/struts are not made for lowering. they are probaly blown by now.
i think if you compress the shock itself and it dont come up, then its no good



Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!

i would say the best way to tell would be on a car. Or if the strut is super easy to push down and up off the coil it is blown. The best way to tell would be mounted

here is a pic of the actual struts the owner posted, i just noticed now that one of the rear shocks is pressed down and the other is up. So i guessing something is wrong with one of them. Anybody know what brand these coils look like?
