Apex -60mm kit question

[Martin_172]

ive recently noticed that when putting weight on the front of my car (to bounce the suspension up and down) the front doesnt seem much more firm than a standard 1.2 16v

also when reversing out my drive or driving over a small bump the back feels hard but the front seems a bit softer.

now i know all the extra weight from the engine on hte front of the car will make it a bit different BUT when looking at both dampers, they booth seem to be leaking oil! my mate pointed this out but i thought nothing of it at the time but starting to get a bit worried, you can see where all the grit etc is sticking to the oil on the damper :S

i thought maby they all leak a bit of oil but could anyone with the apex kit go take a look for me please?!

the dampers are only 6 months old, i assume they will be convered if this isnt normal? bought from k-tec btw

cheers

shouldnt leak any oil.

you could probably argue it with k-tec under your statutory rights. however most companies want you to send them the dampers for inspection before they send a replacement (a common problem with FK) so you've got the problem of finding some spare temporary dampers. just ring k-tec and see what they say, otherwise use it as the perfect opportunity to get some H&R's lol
