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... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
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... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

^ Yes, but Teins are known to drop a bit more than that because they're on the softer side. The true drop is closer to 2" after everything settles, beyond KYB's warranty of the strut capability. My springs don't drop as much but are stiffer, and as far I can tell everything is still intact. I've been on this setup since the 13th of February, 2010. I'll be doing brake work soon, so I might just poke around and see how the struts are.
