Blown Shock?
I just got Eibach Pro-Kit springs on my 96vic about 2 weeks ago, and i noticed some fluid under my car by my right front wheel, and it looks like my shock it leaking. Is this from lowering my car or are my shocks just old and one blew out??
If the fluid looks like it is coming from the shock (there is a trail) then yea the shock is bad and i don't know that it can be fixed. Usually you just get a new shock. I would think that the shock would just be worn out.
Definitely recommend to buy new shocks. Whenever you mess around with your suspension...try to replace the springs and shocks at the same time.
Get an aftermarket shocks made for lowered vehicles. If you try to get the stock shocks, it'll leak out again...

He already has aftermarket springs.
LamboCivic, I'd replace all the struts at the same time, but definitely not with stockers or even OE replacements (read: KYB GR2's). Look for some real, good quality entry level dampers (cheap as dirt on eBay) such as Tokico HP's.
