front left shock blown!!!!!
i just found out my front left shock is blown. should i replace all my shocks now or wait untill the others go too? also, i going to get a body kit soon and will be raising my car up a little. Will the blown shock be more of a problem with my car a little higher than it is now?
That blown shock is always going to be a problem. It will constantly be bottoming out on you. What are you putting a skyjacker lift kit on or something? Why will you be raising it? Get it replaced and see if Honda will do them all for free.

two questions?
how does one know that their shocks are blown?
why are you RAISING your car?? everyone here will tell you that's a big no no, unless you're making it look like an R/C car or something.

I jus up my car from the dealership 5 days ago, the reason for a clicking noise when I was turning was a blown shock absorber and a spring - both were stock -. So they replaced them under warranty [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I ahve only 10,000 miles too[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] looks like a plaque

i'm raising my car because it is lowerd all the way with ground control coil-overs. if i don't raise it up alittle, then the kit will hit the floor. it already scrapes when i pull out of my drive way.
