s13 Blown KYB AGX?

I just got a set of used AGXs, and the last owner said they were blown. Well i only baught them for the springs. And decided to test the agxs out to see witch one is blown.

I put all 4 to the lowest setting (1). Push down on them and they make a liquid woosh sound like every other shocks would. I guess it was easy to push down cause it was the softest setting.

Now i would turn the settings to one knotch up and tested each number, and it got stiffer and stiffer till i maxed out the settings. And i got to thinking, if the shocks are changing stiffness with the settings, they shouldnt be blown!

Now...are these things blown or what? Cause i know blown shocks would hold no type of pressure.

Since were on the same subject, is it true that the KYB AGXs are not ment for lowering springs such as the Sportlines, and driving with the lowerd springs would cause the shocks to blow?

Thanks
