how would I know if my lowering springs blow out my shocks? what would that do to the vehicle? what would I feel? what signs are there that they are going?

 

I think there would be a lot of bounce. And if you inspect the actual strut/shock, you might see some fluid leaking out of the top or bottom.

Do you suspect yours might be blown? And why?

I've been running a pretty severe drop for 30k+ without issue on stock shocks/struts.

 

Push down on each corner of the car, if the car bounces a few times they are blown. (some one car to elaborate, I'm way too tired.)

 

are they noisey too?

 

I was just askin for general purposes, I bought eibach springs but didn't want to spend the $ (for now anyway) to get new shocks. Just wanted to know what I needed to look out for if/when the time comes that the stock shocks stop functioning.

 

LOL those eibachs drop you what 1.25 doubt they'll blow your shocks any time soon...

 

i got the sportline w/ the 2" drop. the prokit is the 1.2" drop.

 

You still won't have any issues for quite a while.

 

stock shocks go around for 50 dollars around here..

 

ever see a basketball bounce

thats about how the car rides

as for noise, odds are it is in a bushing or something else
