Default How hard is compressions on rear Koni sport shocks?

How long does it take to compress and rebound a set of good rear sport Koni's at full hard and full soft?

These are not compression adjustable, only rebound. Mike

So they take about 30 seconds to compress with all my weight right? And reboud will adjust just fine on the super super stiff one. Just wanted to know how hard these are to compress. 30 seconds or 2.5 or less seconds? I was thinking the 30 seconds.

New shocks can be compressed fairly easily if they're off the car and you lean on them. Prob 2.5 seconds or less to compress under body weight.

His shock were totally fine! I missed out like the jack *** I am! Dam it😤. Anyways the new shock I got act exactly the same as the two shock I sent back to Lart. I told him not to toss them until I get my new one to make sure, so he most likely will post them for sale again. Sorry Lart I'm a jack *** that got a lesson on Koni sport shocks. Also the little bumper pad inside those suppose to be like 4 inches long when new. Lowered cars will chew the bumper insterts for the rear shocks up quick. I used my bad shock instert to make up the difference in length that I was missing from my still good old shock insert. Also these shocks compress at the 2.5 seconds with all you weight on them like above comments state. sorry Lart, I sent you back good shocks. That cost me! And you, sorry for that!
