leaking of any sorts, means their blown.

easy to disassemble coilovers and check for leaks , and check piston free play and movement etc.

yup, check boots, leaks, compress the piston and see that they rise properly, see if the sleeves/damper knobs are seized etc etc

hasn't been mentioned but do you have the dc2r rear lca's yet? if not then you won't be able to fit the rear shocks
