Should you be able to compress a damper by hand?

[DanielJames]

Quick question

If the damper wasn't under load from a spring, should you be able to easily compress it by hand?

I ask this as I noticed you could do this with the coilovers I fitted to my Integra yesterday, and the car seems a bit too bouncy now (as though there isn't much damping going on)

Cheers

They are Cusco coilovers, but have been fitted with custom springs

So say the spring wasn't in place, would you be able to compress it?

I'll give it the wheeler dealer Ed China bounce test later

Think it must be the springs then, may try the buddyclub springs I have on them.

No visible leaks btw, thanks for the help
