Hi
My V8S lifts its front when accelerating hard, expected the back to dip
Are my shocks shot ?

Try the 'bounce' test, not very accurate but if they're totally shot it will be obvious. You can also tell whether they're working by dabbing the brakes to make the car dive, and see how quickly the pitch movement is damped out.
