type r shocks

[etcha]

I need some help i just lowered my dc2r 3 inches all round and now after 2 months one of my shocks are leaking. What should i do?
Get 1 new from honda?
Or get new ones all round? But if i do this will it reck my handling?

get aftermarket shocks :P
3 inches on stock shocks will just wear them out 10 times as quick lol
but it depends on your budget obviously
but then again im guessin a replacement shock from honda will cost u just as much as a good set of aftermarket.. (exaggeration)

leaking = u killed
Just get a set of AGX(KYB), I think one set is adjustable damper are under $1000

sorry but dont know much, but what are they and are they any good 4 a dc2r?

[type one]

a shortened damper is what you need for your situation - ie a shock abosorber which is shorter to match the height of your lowered springs. This will facilitate rebound and dempening and reduce stress on your chassis and your stock shocks.

civiceg9 is correct, all sorts of manufacturers make all sorts of shorter shocks for your purpose. Koni, Kyb, Tokico etc the list goes on. Do some research and find a set which is in your budget and get em done asap.

Reason being quite logical -

oil leak = blown shock = unsafe - if you hit your bumpstops you'll cause more damage

:confused:

Don't repair it!!!
Buy a new set of suspenion. You will enjoy your integra in the corner.
Good luck!!

without warranty and local support too.

With some things (like suspension) paying less doesnt usually mean its better.

what wouldd be better koni or kyb (agx)?????

[type one]

i think the general consensus is koni is prety good for the price you pay. I think shock and spring set up is around $1200.

I would prefer something more exotic - but then i just pay more haahaha.
