STR.T question
 
I just bought a set of Koni STR.T shocks...I can easily compress them by hand is this normal? I am a total NEWB when it comes to this type thing.....this is my first set of sport shocks that I have ever bought....I bought them and a set of Strano lower springs.....sorry for the stupid question but I'm still learning...

how easily? the stock rear shocks can be done by putting the top against the ground and pushing on the bottom with a single hand. the front are a bit stiffer but still possible with some effort.

I can compress the new shocks both front and rear by hand not even pressing against the ground pretty easily.....

I bought front str.t's and I compressed them with one hand on top of the other with the shock against the ground, granted my bottom hand hurt for the next few days. The fronts I know are quite stiff if you manually compress them by hand

That's the way they are. Mine did the same thing, but work fine. Mine are installed with Strano's.
