suspension bleeding...

one of my shocks are gone. i know this because it is bleeding. and i also hear a big klump when i go over small bumps. i also hear it on the other side to. (front) i think this is due to the fact that i drive alot where the nyc streeets are bad.
my question is should i get just buy both shocks are should i invest in coilover. (tein ss) i was looking into these for awhile, but would like someone to convience me on how good they are. this is the perfect reason to to change my suspension!!!!! i also wont be lowing it to low, max would be 1.5 due to my location. but i am looking to improve handling.
so should i invest in this, will it be worth it...

When you say buy both shocks, do you mean stock shocks or aftermarket shocks? According to your requirements, I see a coilover setup in your future.

I LOVE my SS setup on my TSX.
It handles great and it felt more solid over bumps, and for some reason a quieter ride too.
The only problem I have with the right now is I get this clunking noise (very silent) coming from the SS under low speed pass over pot holes.

It sounded more like a popping noise.

I have the tein ss on my car and i drive every single day back and forth to work. Word of advice if you want something comfortable i would recommend the Tanabe Coilovers. The tein are a little too stiff for new york roads.
