what is the best damper for a K5 ZX-10R

Hyperpro might be ok on the road but on my racebike it could not hack it and blew apart. Not something you want when going into a bumpy 4th gear corner, caused me to crash.
Talked to the Hyperpro reps and found out they had seal issues with lots of dampers and i got it replaced and its now on my roadbike. At the time i knew of 4 other hyperpros that blew seals and had to be replaced. They aparantly redisenged the sealing and they are meant to be better.
Go from a Hyperpro to a Ohlins and you can feel how much better it is on the same bike.
