This is a topic that we discussed in detail in a number of threads in the "Archive" [see the tab above, that leads you to the "old" kzrider discussion threads back into 2002].

My favorite on shocks (which I started) is:

Good luck, and safe riding!

This is what I do for fun, not for work. It is art, with a little engineering thrown in.

Are you sure the shocks are leaking and not the O-rings in the connections? I experienced this with some of my air shocks on autos(of course I'm assuming they hook up like the auto shocks).
