So I'm driving on shocks that are leaking and will eventually get to the point (some may have already gotten there) where the shocks will bottom-out. Has anyone had this happen and driven around on them? What can I expect? I've got a new setup coming but I'm wondering how long I've got.
Right now, the ride height is crazy-low and it's a bit noisy but I can deal with annoying sounds and clunking...as long as it's not anything breaking/causing damage. Thanks in advance. -------------------- 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 1974 Datsun 260Z 1997 Subaru Legacy L Wagon Kind of missin' my Celica GT! Hit me up if you're ever in my area.

Not stock, K-Sport coilovers... Either the first owner "procured" these second-hand or whoever installed these was an idiot. Seriously. The car's got 20k miles so I'm not sure when he got these put on but they're definitely fuct. I'm pretty low, but Subaru (yeah, sorry, not a Mr. T question! lol) told me all 4 shocks are leaking and are already pretty low.
I was just wondering if anyone else had any experience. That helps grif! Thanks. -------------------- 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 1974 Datsun 260Z 1997 Subaru Legacy L Wagon Kind of missin' my Celica GT! Hit me up if you're ever in my area. I'm always down for a meet. |
