Default Spongy sound from shocks

Hey guys, I have had KYB AGX shocks and Eibach Pro Kit springs on my fiancee's 95 Accord for a few months now. Recently they have been making a wet spongy sound whenever we go over a bump, more in the rear than the front. They seem to be fine and not blown. Should I be worried or is this normal?

agx doesn't work well with heavy accord body, Know some people have sagging shock after a while, but you shouldn't have problem with eibach prokit.
Oh yeah..i dont think eibach prokit is lower than 1.5 inch right?
call freakin KYB for free lifetime replacement yo

My rears do that to. Sounds like they're just releasing gas/pressure.

My rear shocks make that noise too (I have the pro-kits too). I don't think it is a problem, just them releasing pressure.

Yeah guys, I have the same exact set up w/ the agx and pro-kit, and I have same exact sound. Heh it kinda gets annoying @ the parking deck @ school cause there's little separations in the concrete like every 10 feet.
