So I got rid of my scotts. While it functioned well it got in the way of the ignition. So I am in the market for another one, but I don't know which brand to get. I mean more or less they do the same thing, right?

Right now I am leaning towards a Ohlins because for one I know they work, and two they are a name that you can trust. I am also considering a Hyperpro active damper. I figured some of you racers could give me some tips as to what works and what doesn't.

Looking for updated information before I buy my new one in a couple weeks.

Hyperpro's have a tendancy to leak at the seals. I have used Ohlins on my past 4 bikes without any problems.
