Re: Symptoms of Blown Shocks? (GSRaCeRbOI)

My ride wasn't really bouncey but the smallest imperfections in the road would feel like a 5" deep pot hole. It actually broke my cd player (thank god for the warrenty.) Lowering my car too much finished off my OEM struts. Now i have KBY AGX struts (set at 2 for cruising) and i enjoy driving my car again.
