I've got a set of HSD coils sitting in the corner of my living room waiting to go on.

-There should be a sign of fluid leakage if not fluid everywhere on the strut

-It'll handle like sh*t

-It'll keeping oscillating after hit a bump rather than the controlled returned to normal that it normally does. And on that same note, if you normally keep the damper settings relatively stiff, it'll now feel soft.

-They'll sometimes also make noise when blown (clicking or clunking)

-If you're still unsure, take the wheel off, compress the spring, and then try moving the shock by hand. It should be very hard to do.

There is no leaks I've looked for that thanks for the info though I'll take the wheel off this weekend and try compressing it if all that fails I might just raise the front like half an inch

I have HKS coilovers with Eibach swaybars. I had Eibach pro springs but I didn't like the ride on rough roads.
