Suspension - Leaky struts help

So my rear struts are leaking and are need of replacement. I have a Honda mechanic to get hooked up with OEM ones. A friend of mine says this is the perfect time to upgrade to something better than stock. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

$ = KYB GR-2
$$ = KYB AGX (Adjustable dampening)
$$ = Tokico HP (Blue)
$$$ = Tokico Illumina (White, adjustable dampening)
$$$$ = Koni Yellow (I think they have adjustable dampening), Bilstein (Don't know about adjustable dampening)

Koni is adjustable rebound (<-must be done before install) and dampening

Thanks. That helped.
Most likely be picking up the Tokico HP (Blue)

My Mechanic said that the shocks and spring are fine. Is it recommended to change the shocks and the springs at the same time?

I would like a little drop. Nothing Slammed. I believe I read in a thread that H&R are pretty good? (50103 H&R)

What about recommendations on Shocks?

Your first post said that your struts were leaking. Now in here you say your shocks are fine?? You dont have shocks and struts. They are the same thing on this car. If your going to lower the car, YES they should be changed at the same time, especially if the shocks are a few years old or have mroe than 50k miles on them.

H&R are the best springs
