it's the shox, same thing happens on stock OEM cars after a few years. but since you & i are on Neuspeed Sports & OEM shox, i haven't had that problem yet (i put it on in July 2001), just leans more in corners than when brand new. the coil binding on the bottom half is normal, my friend's Eiback Pro-kit are like that, too.

just get Koni Sports or Tokico Illumina, or if poor like me get KYB AGX.
