Default Rsx springs are feaking huge

I just got my s-techs from Tein and I opened the box to my surprise these things look like truck springs. Anyways, my questions is. What shocks would these springs work well with? I am thinking Koni yellows but They have a tendency to leak

I searched in Clubrsx and many owners have or had problems at one point.

don't buy the koni.

the koni setup requires you to permanently modify your stock front struts to act as a housing for a strut cartridge.

why? b/c koni didn't want to spend the extra $$$ to make a real boltin replacement front strut. That's kinda crappy, esp coming from a company with a reputation for quality like koni.

Apparently it's not uncommon for this practice to occur with struts, but hopefully if no one buys the koni, they'll come out with a shortened strut body BOLT-IN replacement.

seriously. for the 600+ dollars that Koni is charging, you think people could get REAL front struts and not just inserts.
