Angry Eibach Pro Kit Blew my stock ShockS!! HELP

Ok, i bought the Eibach pro kit springs 2 weeks ago, i installed it the saturday before last and the wed after that i had a really bad sound after every small bump.. so i put the car on the lift and noticed 3 of my 4 stock shocks are leaking.. leading me to believe my shocks are busted.. shit!!

So i left the car parked in my garage for 2 days and began driving it again to work slowly.. but the noise is really pissing me off

What can i do?
Should i buy the Konis Sport Yellows?? and if so, how is the ride quality??
Should i buy the Tokico Blues (ive heard these are not the best option)
or should i remove the Eibachs, sell them for 225 (they cost me 275) and buy TEIN BASICS cus i been reading how everyone swears by them on this forum

i know i will need a camber kit for all wheels, what brand is best? and how much should i be spending??

please help cus im running out of patience

just replace your stock shocks with the koni yellows and all you'll need is a camber kit for your rears only if you want your camber corrected. then it should ride pretty smoothly

i have also been reading koni sp3??

im the type of dude to over react not take a breather and start making moves right away.. i dont want to put my tsx through any more mistakes, so im taking the time by coming to this forum and ask questions from informed ppl like you fellas

im looking to get these konis asap.. please advise.

any one think it would be cheaper for me to buy Koni sp3 - combine them with my Eibach pro kit springs, sell the neuspeed springs (get some money back)?? are the Sp3 the same as the Koni Sports???

I had the same problem , the stock shocks blew with the prokit. I installed 4 koni yellows and have them for 2 years now. There set close to the firmest setting and no problem yet.prokit/konis is a good all around setup.

you should have done it right the first time and gotten shocks along with your springs now you're gonna waste money on another installation, time, and another alignment

I have the Tokico HP/Blues on Tein H-Tech, and while those springs aren't as much of a drop as the Eibach Pro-Kit, the rid eis very good. I see no reason for me to go with the Koni's as they are considerably more expensive. However, with the Pro-Kit, maybe the Koni's are a better option -- someone here should know for sure exactly if and why this is.

The stock shocks was going to blow sooner or later since you just put lowering springs on them, like everyone else said get some aftermarket shocks or sell your springs and get coilovers....

I have Tein Basics and yes you need a rear camber kit, they are all about the same so it doesn't really matter which one you get, you can get one used for like $100.

Koni's > Tokico blues, but I've enjoyed the Tokico-pro kit set up for the last year and would reccommend them.
