Rear driver shock leaking oil.
Advice on options? Replace the rear or get a full set of 4?
Do i need an alignment after all is said and done?
Should i just use the same springs that they come with. I see people talk about the swift spec springs. Is that just for lowering?

You probably won't need an alignment, but it's good to get your alignment checked in case someone loosened the wrong bolt.

Wait, you replaced a stock shock with a coilover, but only one shock? Left all the others stock?
Swapped stock spring onto coilover? Surprised spring diameter matched. Coilover damping rate tuned for spring w 2x rate cs stock.
This doesn't seem safe in any way. Did I read it wrong?

i.e. I did NOT buy the Tein coilovers.

Not too many (or any?) good reviews of these Endura Pro OEM replacements for the S2k.
Really wonder how they ride, handling characteristics, etc. And, of course, their build-quality, durability, longevity, etc.; especially compared to similar products like Koni, Bilstein, etc.
I kinda have a feeling they might not be as good quality as Koni or Bilstein... just by its' much much cheaper price for an entire set (it's like half the cost, or even less than half, lol).

Google it... multiple vendors list it as $455-550'ish for an Entire Full-Set Kit, both front & rear. Crazy right? Even almost half the price of Konis.
Hence... my concern of their build-quality (and also ride, handling characteristics, durability, etc.) compared to Koni or Bilstein, because they're so inexpensive.
Seems too good/cheap to be true.
