Blown shock..

I recently installed tein stechs on my car about 4 days ago.. I go out to my car this morning and there is a puddle under my passenger rear shock. Figures since the stock shocks have 95k miles on them, so now what do I need to do? I got my springs for $150 new so I'd like to keep my drop, or maybe go lower.. but of course I need new shocks and it's only a matter of time before the rest go out. What's the best bang for the buck?

Well I'm still stick with a blown shock, regardless!

As far as the Koni's, they are adjustable? And will the stechs work with them?

Sell springs and get coilovers/supercup kit
OR keep springs and get supercup kit then sell "supercup" springs
OR keep springs and get konis

Ugh, unless Tein makes better springs for Acura than they do Mitsu I'd stay clear. I put them on my Evo when I had it and they blew out the shock twice. Just horrible.

Ended up going with coil overs after that.

I'd like to just keep my springs and buy shocks.. I've never really heard any negatives about Tein springs for the TL's but funds are a little tight right now lol
