Default Replace rear 2003 RK shocks - stock or other brand?

Does anyone have experience with Ultima air/oil height lowering shock for the RK (2003)? Are these of any quality? One rear replacement shock ~200$ (incl tax, from HD #54565-97C) so it is pricey. A new pair of Ultima lowering shocks is ~140$ plus shipping - inexpensive but a little leary of the low cost.

I need to replacethe *one* rear RK shock as it is leaking fluid and when at rest, it drips onto the rotor - this explains why my rear brake felt "soft" - I've confirmed its not the brake caliper leaking.

thanks in advance...
