KYB AGX INFO ??

Ok ,i just instaled a new set of kyb agx and lowering spring on my 1996 v6 camaro...it was tough because of the rust on the shock nut(VERY BAD)...and now the car look terrible or should i say awesome
now my question , before i put the shock i try to compresed it with my hand and it was pretty easy...and then the rod uncompresed itself very slowly...i try different setting (8) and it was always the same...( i found this after i cut the old one to get the part that i needed so dint have choise to put them in...DAMN:banghead: : ) Both shock are doing the same...

on the car i dint find anyting wrong but like i said i put new lowered spring that are stiffer

...do you think that they are worn out or it is normal for adjustable to do that??? by the way i am french thats why i write funny like that...
need help

are you saying that you expected the shocks to be very very hard to compress? but instead theyre soft. yet the new springs are stiff?

I have the same shocks but have only installed the rear ones, the front ones will go on after I swap out heads next week. I did the same thing by hand also with no problems with the rear ones. I have my rear ones set at 7 for the street right now. They seem pretty stiff. I that helps for the road around chitown, its always crappy around there.

I dont think that answered your question but its the same with mine soooo...
