how to tell if my tein coilovers are blown???

[240meowth]

so i've had my teins for over a year now, and they are a lil harsh for me, so i'm thinking about selling them. But i wouldn't feel right to sell them if they are blown or anything like that. So how do i check? the way it makes sense to me right now is to compress the shocks/strusts and see is they come back, is that the right way?

few ways
any fluids around the shock?
best way:
remove spring
push down on shock
should come up slowly
a relaly blown shock will go down and stay down

of course isnt 100% accturate on its condition but a good way to see if really blown ordecently good

best way would send to tein to have tested.


and DONT think you can test WITH the spring on
i hate when people do that...

Yeah, main obvious thing is with being able to see them leaking. Your rebound will also be noticeably slower. Ever had a ride in a car that either sat ass up or ass down? Chances there there shocks were blown.
