type ones. all the way down in the front, never touched preloades springs. plenty of more room to go in the rear.

IMO coilovers are coool but you should stay away from the weksos deal with "free" blox lca's they really werent free because the price was almost 100 more of what they are now plus theyre ****

Thats the same thing thats just recently happened to my rear driver side. It makes a loud clunking noise when going over bumps.. yet it's not too bouncy but its still annoying as hell. Does that mean my rear driver shock is done? I have F&F type I's and only have them for half a year.

that "thud" you guys are describing soounds like a bushing to me. what LCA's do you guys have?

my ride also seems to have worsened now it is almost unbearable in some parts of the freeway i think my rear right shock is blown.i get a repetitive bounce after a series of bumps. but no bouncines on a single bump (weird) i think i shoulda went GC/Koni


SO HOW DOES THE WARRANTY WORK>?
can i send in both my rear shocks for rebuild? or all 4?

A lot of people with blown shocks huh? Are you guys messing with the preload?

Each shock is $75 to get fixed shipping included.

I never messed with the preload and I still have a lot of more threads to go. For $75 to get it fixed I dont think its worth it if you just had it for about half a year. My old set up Tokico blue shocks w/ H&R race springs drive way better IMO.

Well, youre in the warranty bud! I should of rephrased. Any one thats out of warranty pay that. The warranty expires 1 year after purchase.

This makes sense! I totally forgot about the LCA bushings. It could be that since I have shitty Blox LCA's and they've been a lil over a year now. Ill check the bushings to see if they're worn out.

im telling you guys it is. if you look under the car youll see that where the rear shock mounts the bushing is sagging and almost touching the bottom part of the bushing which is metal. now thats when the car is NOT DRIVING now imagine hitting a bump. the force literally breaks through that SHITTY *** rubber that is SOFTER THAN STOCK stock lca dont even sag like that.. its been less than a year in mine and man do i regret getting them POS even free. the rubber on the shock mount of my lca is missing on the bottom because it looks cut. ill try n snap a pic.
