Re: Shock absorbers

I don't think spring rate or sagging is the problem with my car, I think the struts alone are the problem.
I live 20 miles up a mountain am very experienced mountain driver. One local tricky bit is approach to a local bridge, closing downhill right turn, final twist is narrow bridge entrance while turn continues to close. Transition from downhill to flat, pavement goes from asphalt to cement, at about 7/10 the SVX crashes down on all 4 corners. (the one time I tried it). Yet in "normal" driving, where suspension uses maybe 2/3 of it's travel, everything is fine. I suspect OEM shocks have lost pressure...
