I have an integra with skunk2s and kyb agx's.... the ride has become incredibly bouncy and one of the shocks is leaking. With the ride as bouncy as it is, I'm not sure if other ones are damaged or not. Can the shocks be repaired or do I need to purchase new ones?

If the shock is blown, just get a new one. I think 1 KYB AGX shock goes for under 100.

 

i'm guessing your pretty slammed...

so replacing 1 isn't going to fix your problem. because the rest will still be bouncy...or will blow within a few months.

koni.

 

You need 4 new shocks. Because the springs/coilovers you're using have such high spring rates, and because you're most likely lowering over 1.5"...I recamend Koni "yellows" or "sports"...or something better. You could try Koni Reds or Tokico Illuminas...but only if you're on a tight budget...because those shocks also run the risk of blowing.

 

I'm only lowered about 1.5"

If its only lowered about 1.5" then you may be able to get them replaced under warranty.

 

I don't mean to thread jack, but I'm 2.5" dropped on stock shocks...its not bouncy...but when I hit ****, it hits hard...you all think I should upgrade also? and what are the prices of the koni's and which koni's at that.

 

koni yellows will run you 500-600$... i would never spend that much on shocks though. id rather have a bouncy ride.

 

How do you check for leaking shocks?

how do you check if its leaking..? i think mine is blown also on one of the shocks..does it mean its blown if you push down on the fender and as you push the shock squeeks?

 

I found out my girls strut was blown when her front tire was off and there was fluid all over the inner wheel well. maybe you guys can check that way. not sure the easiest way though

 

can I change the rear shocks to konis and keep the front ones kyb's? is there something wrong with mismatching shocks?
