shock sucking up air.
« on: July 23, 2013, 07:20:08 PM »
When I give a good bounce I can hear a slurping noice coming from the rear end, pretty sure its a leak in the shock. I have had no issues with the springs however.

What shocks can I fit the stock springs to?

Progressive, Ikon, and Hagen all make pretty good shocks that come with springs.

The stock Hondas sucked from the factory and only got worse.

Why do you want to reuse the springs?

On a budget and if the springs are fine why bother replacing them?

And if you weigh above 150lbs they are at the wrong spring rate for your weight.

Can you actually buy shocks without springs? Seems pointless.
