Are KYB strut inserts for the front gas charged?
In other words, when compressed are they supposed to spring back like the Koni Sport inserts? TIA |

Many of us refer to KYB's as Kill Your Backs, very low buck in a 914 and not the best solution. I fact I just removed the KYB's from my bug, I'm going with stock shocks.
