another suspension question

[s13cruzer]

ok well i've drawn the conclusion that there is something up with my rear shocks , they are harsh as hell on bumps and what not and the ass end rides kinda low , so i think to myself "blown shocks" , but i can't completely tell if thats it or not so has anyone had there rear stock shocks go on their s13 and if so how much wheel gap is there after that happens so i can get an answer , to , if they are blown or not? if they were blown would it be that noticable for me to know , without a doubt , that they are blown , ok i'm rambling , help please

thanks

i'd say they're blown. especially if the car rides rough over bumps. when mine finally blew, when i'd drive over a series of bumps, the back wheels would jump up and down like crazy, even 10 feet after the bumps. the KYB's took care of that shit. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

Yeah, isn't that what's supposed to happen if they blow? The car looks like a cab driving over a speed hump at 20mph??

Does it bounce like that, cruzer?

whateverjames, you are my personal hero for today for correctly using the contraction "they're". &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

ya know. i may misspell commonly used words or use run on sentences sometimes, but i really try to watch that one for some reason. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

the way my rear wheels looked when going over bumps, according to my friend, is that they were bouncing up and down 30 times a second. he was driving behind me. to me it felt like wheel hop. really, really bad wheelhop.
