Testing Adjustable Shocks

found a good deal on some semi-used koni's and was wondering what was a solid way to find out if they're still in good condition or even any condition at all. most people tell me to adjust it to the firmest setting as possbile, press the shaft downwards on the pavement, and see how fast the shaft rises. supposedly on the firmest setting, if the shaft rises at a fast rate then they are pretty damn good? any help would be appreciated.

unlike what most people think, koni yellow's can also go bad. I would try and see how the ride is. Also check if there are any leaks...btw, how much did you get them for? A while back i saw 2 front sets of koni yellows on sale on ebay for 75 bucks (or that's what the ending bid).

seems shady though. i'm going to check it out tomorrow, maybe its a blessing in disguise cause my ride sucks @$$ now that i sold my tokicos long ago. o well, at least i still have the special edition steering wheel that i just won the bid on.
