How about some KSport Coilovers? Are you dropped yet? Get some Illuminas, since they are basically the best shocks out there.

im assuming hes looking for a more cost effective solution instead of dropping $800 on it.
If you hit a pothole and it blew, then just replace that single strut thats bad. otherwise you need to check if the other strut is squeaking or leaking by removing it and checking it. its an easy chagne with a spring compressor and another person.

Why is the rear one shot? If you have close or more than 100k on them replace all 4 since they are probably dying anyway. if money is a concern and you have stock spring get tokicos HP's (aka blues).

You don't even need a spring compressor for the rears. I did my rears with illuminas last week. I would just go ahead and replace both of them, it's not that hard to do, and if you replace one, it's only a matter of time before the other one goes. If you get illuminas you got a lifetime warranty as long as you keep within the specified drop. $150 shipped for the pair from performance peddler.
