They're laying down in that photo I think. Hope you're going to stand them up overnight before you fit them, and excercise them a bit too.

Always store shocks upright, and yes you need to pump them a bit first to expell any air bubbles that may be inside the shock.

replaced the rear dampers today just intime to beat the rain.
it all went really well with no ceased nuts at all which is a first for me doing a mini job! lol
the old dampers whic i believe to be original to the car were dead as a dodo when i took them off rust dropped from the inside god knows how they worked!
the avo dampers are brill with the lowest damper rate being at least twice the stiffness of the old ones! the car doesnt rock an inch now!
i couldnt take it for a drive tho cus of the lack of brake fluid which will be sorted tomorro and hopefully the front dampers will be changed too!
will keep you posted on the changes!
