Default blown shocks?

i have stock shocks on neuspeed sports, i will be getting kyb agx soon.
but i just want to make sure its my shocks before i spent the money.

anyways the shocks do squeak as if they were blown, but i was wondering if rain and moisture can prevent the squeaking of a blown shock or it could be something else?

ive noticed the past few days when it rains alot, the shocks will stop squeaking and sound perfectly fine. i was wondering if this is normal to anyone who has had blown shocks and experienced this too?
it goes back to squeaking when the moisture dissipates.

i always here about this squeekin noise. Well, I have tokico blues with H&R race springs. The backs squeek, but i think the noise is coming from "dead coils", the coils that sit on one another when the car is lowered. I removed my rear shock and push it down and the metal shaft came up rather quick, so i dont think shocks are bad when you hear squeekin,

I agree about the dead coil thing. Happens with my friend's a lot. Also, I read about the shock squeaking from it's mount inside the hatch. See if that's alright.

well its not so much as a light squeak.. i have one of those from the rear driver side, but its more like a louder squeak when i hit a bump, go over rough roads, or the springs compress over a hill or something... basically anytime the spring compresses

Replace the shocks, just incase anything has gone bad. If not, then hey you got new shocks, one less thing you have to worry about on your ride.
peace
