'05 Shinka: Rear shocks are leaking, help me upgrade?
 
Hi Guys, I'm a new poster here, but I lurk from time to time and really appreciate the wealth of information this forum is!

I have an '05 Shinka RX8 that is about to hit 60K miles, and I noticed both my rear shocks are leaking. The car is stock other than running Hankook R-S3 tires in 245 width.
I want to replace all 4 shocks, but probably not go much further than that. I've ran different shock/spring combos and even coilovers on most of my other cars, but with the handling benefit there is always a loss in comfort, and honestly this car handles so well out of the box that I really don't think it needs anything else.

I am tempted to run another set of stock Shinka shocks, but am not sure where to get them. I'd also really appreciate suggestions on what would be better shocks to run instead.

Thanks a lot guys!

I am sure you can find a set of OEM shocks by posting in the for sale section. Lots of guys here swap out suspension and have old parts laying around, so check that first. If you decide to upgrade shocks, Koni sports are pretty much the most popular shock on the board
