yes sir, as i was taking them out, they still have gas, but are so easy to compress.....
 I had to put the toyota springs today to replace the teins, and just found that i will be in the market for new shocks, no wonder my car rides like crap... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

They are not made to be used with lowering springs. So if thats what you were using them on, you can only blame yourslef.

They only warranty them up to a 1.5" drop too. If you're going to lower your car, don't go cheap... you regret it in the end. Pick up some Koni inserts for your OEM strut sleeves and clean up the body of the strut. Special D adjustable take a beating. On the stiffest setting, I have to be careful because my tires are actually what is absorbing most of the impact of potholes. The difference between OEM and performance like the GR-2's to Koni's is night and day. GR-2 is not a performance upgrade by any means. It's a factory replacement by a German brand. They are one of the best on the market for OEM, but when lowering, they wont last. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles. Project car 1992 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE 170k Miles.
