Default Shock Leaking after new springs are put on, now what?!?!?!

I just put H&R's on my stock springs and already the right rear shock is leaking **** when i jack up the car. I didnt think they would **** the bed this early after putting on different springs but man i was wrong. I spent 40 bucks to have the springs put on to! But anyway, I was thinking of selling the H&Rs on ebay or something becuase i have barely used them (1 week), and then buying some ground controls and for shocks i wanted to get KYB AGX adjustables. I don't want to spend an *** load on suspension, i just want something that gives me the handling that i like. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Much obliged!

You should always buy shocks with aftermarket springs. who knows maybe your shock life was at its end, and putting the new H&R's made it worse, and it died

keep the springs, and get some better shocks, don't get no crappy, autozone shocks, get something like, kybs, koni, or tokicos.. u can get a good set of regular kyb's for like 250 for all four.. good luck..

if ur on a budget, stay with the springs.. they will give u a good ride over coilovers.. if u have the funds and jus want coilovers, get either gound control or skunk2.. since u already got the springs jus get some better shocks..
