Used KYB AGX's...?

[GSXlaunch]

Hey guys I just picked up a set of used AGX's with about 6k miles on them. I have heard nothing but good things about these units. I am planning on getting some sportling springs as the pro kits dont drop the car enough. All I am mostly concerned with improving launch...any how should I be able to push in each shock by hand?? I thought the AGX's were suppose to be very stiff and the fronts compress pretty easily while the rears compress but are a little harder to push in. Thanks for the help.

AGX's are adjustable on the top of the strut turn it to the right to make it tighter or left to loosen it...you might be able to do it by hand but probably be better off using an alan wrench
