Strut Recommendations?
I have Tein High Tech Springs mounted on my Stock SiR (EM1) Struts.
Recently one of the rear ones started leaking. So I need to replace it.
A OEM Honda Strut without spring or mounting hardware will cost me $220 CDN.
Its probably the best way to go because otherwise I will have to replace all four which I don't really have the money for.
The Shop I get my work done at recommends that as well. They said the Aftermarkets Shocks don't standup as well as OEM.
They has seen 2 people buy KYB AGX and have them start leaking after 3 months
What do you guys recommend?

if you just want to replace one shock with an oem one, head over to the classifieds. i'm sure you can find a used one for slightly more than the change in your couch.
if you're going to replace all four, save up for some koni yellows.

The best part about the yellows is that they come with a lifetime warranty. I have also ridden in cars with the GR2s and like them.

KYB shocks also have a lifetime warranty, as I believe Tokico's do as well.
I am running with Neuspeed Sports and KYB AGX's... and to sum it up: I love the combo. It's great for daily driving, but damn this car handles better than my 3rd gen Prelude. I want to get some 350/250 GC Coilovers so I can run with no wheel gap in the summer... but overall, I highly recommend this strut.
