Re: Why would new shocks make the ride WORSE?

Dropped in to my trusted mechanic, who researched his source for shocks, discovered that Shocks Warehouse sold me the wrong shocks. I should have known better, when the website prompt did not have 'C-10' to choose from, that was a sign. He told me about priming the shocks, compress at least 3 times and let it return, the Japanese translation of Greek instructions show nothing about this procedure. He said there is a difference between coil spring and leaf spring, which explained my description of what's going on. When he ordered the correct shocks, had trouble finding them in stock. So I have KGS416 rear and KGS409 front coming, and will let him deal with the warrantee hassle.

Now I need to sell these shocks......
