Default Question about shocks/struts??

I have a 96 Civic 2 door and I need to buy some new struts for my car because my ride quality is very bad from the stock struts being blown. There is some kind of liquid coming out of them. Soo much bouncing. Anyways I have some coilovers installed and I want to know what kind of struts are pretty decent. I'm not going to do any road racing, i just need to know what kinds are pretty decent. Thanks!

I just put KYB AGX's and H&R Sport springs on my '96. I had blown OE struts on there before and alls I gotta say is, damn, HUGE difference in ride quality and handling. my car is very responsive now, and the drop is perfect imo. 1 1/2-2 fingers at most between the fenderwell and tire.

the H&R Springs are $165 for all 4 at tirerack.com and you can get KYB AGX's for $75 a piece which is what i got mine for, might could find em for less. typical price on them though is $90-100. Considering the whole setup cost me just under $500, it's very worthwhile. Ground Controls are going to be a bit more expensive but they are stiffer springs too *i think*

i'm gonna post some before/after pics in the next day or so.
