Suggestions for shocks on lowered springs
I am lowered on H&R springs and I'm almost positive my shocks have gone bad. I will get them checked out this week. What shocks should I buy? I know with lowered springs the car will be somewhat stiff. I would like to have a comfortable ride though. What shocks go best with lowered cars?

1. Model year and mileage of your car
2013 RWD Lux 200k
2. Shocks blown?
Yes but only one as original owner service history shows front left shock leaking and replaced at 32k miles.
2a. If so, at what mileage?
2b. How did you find out they were blown (oil on the shock body during service or degradation in ride quality/control)?
2c. Which shocks blew (front, rear, or both)?
3. Lowering springs? No stock suspension
3a. If so, mileage when you installed them? No
So far I’m still on the original 3 shocks and I’ve periodically inspected them. They definitely don’t seem to be any visible amount of oil drippage coming from the shocks. There has been a light shade and some dust around but nothing out of the ordinary imo. the ride still feels fine but I’m noticing a little more firmness and occasionally more questionable suspension sounds when going over bumps and stuff. I will replace all 4 with KYBs from rock auto eventually.
