Just go to one of those local auto-performance shop, they should be able to sell you just the one you need. However, it will be a good idea to replace them as a pair, not just one.

so they both have the same wear on them. the right side will ride differently than the left if you just get one new one.

If one is blown most likely the other is heading south soon.

I thought so too, but when I bought my tokico(the blue ones) a while back. The warranty card/registration card said one year warranty. I don't know about illuminas though.

i was just recently in the same situation you are man.
go to http://www.nopionline.com you can get single struts there for cheaper than anywhere else on the net that i've found. just one tokico blue is like $64 or something....pretty damn good.

i know KYB voids the warranty if you are dropped more than 2" or if you're on coilovers. you might want to check with tokico about that
