Tokico shocks sound "squishy"
I had some Tokico HP shocks installed on my ’98 EX coupe before taking a 4,300 mile road trip. (I have H&R sport springs on them, too.) About 1,500 miles into the trip, I noticed the shocks were making a "sqishing" sort of noise when they were compressed. It's most noticable when going slowly over bumps (less than 10mph) or if you kneel on the rear bumper, you can hear it too. The car seems to be handling great – not bouncy or anything. I've had them on the car for about 5,000 miles total with the H&Rs on them.
Is this noise a concern, or is this something that they just do?

Re: Tokico shocks sound "squishy" (monicle)
Maybe it's just because they have a weird valve system? I don't really know how it works, but I haven't noticed it on other shocks.

Re: Tokico shocks sound "squishy" (Mr. Choi)
While I'm not doubting it's "normal" for Tokicos, why is it only Tokicos that make this noise? I've had KYB, KW, and Eibach dampners and never had a problem with noise … Do the Illumnas do that too?
