Schoks worn out like crazy!
Schoks worn out like crazy! Please HELP!
My shocks worn out shocks like crazy!!! Please help!!!!!
I dropped my car aprox. 1.5”. Height from center cap to fender is about 12.7” (if I’m not wrong the stock height is 14”- Front) 95 Civic DX coupe
I installed adjustable coil-overs with a spring rate of 350 with adjustable KYB shocks. I put the shocks less than one month ago and they are already worn out.
When I first drop the car and installed coil-overs, and I kept the stock shocks. They worn out in a matter of weeks. I was told that a possible reason was that the shock piston travel was too short and that’ why the stock shock got worn out so quickly. So, I decided to invest in adj. KYB shocks, but I am having the same problem now.
But, my car is not slammed, actually there is still almost 1”light between the tire and the fender.
Could anyone help me with this? I am thinking about returning the shocks for the warranty, but I don’t want to have the same problem after installing the new ones.
Thanks a lot

Are you into rally? Never heard of this happening.
How sure are you about the spring rate? You may have chosen a spring rate higher than the KYB AGXs can handle.
