i'm pretty sure my 5 or 5 1/2 month old tokico blue shock is blown. its the left rear. i bought all four corners brand new, and am using sportlines (which should NOT make this shock blow). when we were putting all this stuff on we noticed that the piston would depress pretty easily, compared to the others, but we didn't think anything about it. well, apparently we should have. its riding significantly lower on this corner now. but when i push on the car on that corner, it doesn't continuously bounce or anything, and the car still handles tight. i dont' know whats up. i think i should email/call tokico and b i t c h at them, and make them give me a new shock. paying that much money for something, i expect quality.
