I have some Teins Basics and it feels bouncy for some reason. how can i test if my shocks are blown? it doesnt make noises or anything. any help?

 

Do you have a bunch of shock oil or anything like that on the coilovers? If they just blew they will be coated with oil, but if they blew a while ago dirt and grime will be stuck on the oil, and it will look like someone sprinkled crushed up Oreos all over your shocks.

 

naw none of that. but is basic surpose to be that bouncy? i bought it used..

 

Your statement of "bouncy" is vague.

 

i have tein basics on my dc and they do not feel "bouncy" though i wish tha spring rate was higher

you can change the spring rates (order springs from Tein or Nippon Power)

you can only go up by 2 kg/mm..
Eg. from 10kg- 12kg
