Most shocks leak a little oil after they're made, its the residual thats left over after assembly. Honda-tech= over opinionated pricks that think they're setup is the only one that works.

As for me i've been running GC and Tokico HP for 10 years so i cant say anything about either of the companies mentioned, however i hear alot about the F&F being good.
I had a set of FnF's and i had no problems when driving hard on them at a decent height and riding unreasonably slammed. No leaks whatsoever. A friend of mine has had em a couple years without issues as well. I think some of the leaking issues come from the UPS people beating the crap out of the things they deliver.

Well after reading many forums about Progress CS-11's I have decided to buy them for my car. They have agood price and I have yet to hear anything negative about them, so CS-11's it is. Now to decide whether to buy them now, or the rims now haha

cs-2's are good. Be sure to use them at their recommended height though. They aren't setup for an aggressive drop

i don't believe any full coilover is designed to be slammed on some just hold up better then others.

that's why i mentioned aggressive. CSII recommends 1-1.5" drop over stock i believe, where as some coilover setups have an overall length that is already 1.5-2" shorter than stock making more of an aggressive drop even with proper preload and a sound height adjustment.

but very true about what you said :thumbs up

Yea, im not slamming it yet, I just want, say 2-2.25" of total drop. nothing major
