remove the shock and compress it. if its blown itll take a long time to decompress.

you should've asked in the type r forum although it doesn't really matter.

anyways, like someone else said if you compress it and it doesn't come all the way up its blown

How are the shocks you're currently on? If you do end up buying those used sets, I'd be interested in your OEM shocks.
