^actually, we really have no clue. 96sc4 cannot possibly determine that the shocks are bad, as he said probably.

also, a clunk doesnt mean that its bottoming out.

80k miles is a baby for shocks, however, its not uncommon for shocks to blow before 80k.
you're going to have to do some trouble shooting.by yes, taking the car apart.

there's no other way as we cant give you a definite YES your shocks are blown by simply taking your word that its a clunk.

a clunk can be any thing.

^^^yeah, I was just assuming he had way more miles. That's why I asked how many...

80k isn't a lot of miles... But with that said, lowering springs and stock shocks, usually don't play well together for very long.

^agreed.

I would definitely need to take a look at the car to diagnose, but it is very possible the lowering springs have blown out your stock shocks. They definitely don't play well together. You'll want to pair those springs up with a shock like the Koni Yellow.. or just go with a coilover
