Hey guys, i have 2005 accord lx,and i need a new shock for the left front side, i went to dealer and it's like 130$, i found one at ebay for 100 used one, but i also found some gas struts,2 for 150$.And i was thinking what should i do buy 1 used or change 2 fronts and maybe i will get better ride quality? My car isn't lowered.Tell me what to do,thanks
Is it alright to put gas ones in front ans leave OEM in the back?

listen to the posts above OEM! And its not a good idea to buy used shocks, because you don't know how much mileage was on them. Best way is to buy some brand new OEM replacements. I have the kyb gr-2 on my car right now on stock springs, and they ride alright.

 

Are they better then OEM? why should i stick to OEM?

 

if you arent looking for perfomance upgrades, go OEM


and BTW, the $ comes BEFORE the numbers, not after

 

i know...
