I see a guy selling KYB AHX shocks for 94 Accord. He says he is only selling it as 2 front ones, because 1 of the rear ones was leaking.

Is it okay to put on only 2 front shocks when I lower my car in the future?

Does these shocks have a short life time? I offered him $50, but thinking about it, he used it enough for 1 of them to blow. What would that mean? would I be totally wasting my money thinking about this?

Could I put on any set of different rear shocks with these fronts?
Could I replace the 1 shot rear? or do I need to replace in pairs?

Not trying to get flamed. Just trying to learn

 

Replacing all > replacing pair > replacing one

I wouldn't recommend using 3 used shocks and one new one. Whether or not to buy and install used parts is your call.....if he said one of them blew out I wouldn't buy the remaining ones, why not pay a bit more and get brand new ones that you know will last? Using all the same kind of shock will also give you better ride and handling characteristics.

 

I have KYB GR-2's in the front and KYB AGX's in the rear..love the ride its very smooth

Would it be okay to replace 2 front ones and use different ones in the rear?

How long does these shocks normally last? Is this a huge hit or miss situation?

 

Gr2s Are The Agxs on the 3rd setting
