New rear shocks old front shocks. Can I?
I am broke right now, and I cant afford all 4 shocks that i need yet. So can I just put rear ones on? and then the whole car will still sit the same, i have it lowered with H&R's i just the shocks. So becuase the right rear is blown, can I just do the rear shocks for now? LMK thanks

how would it ruin the rears by not changing the fronts along with them? Not trying to be an ***, but I'm looking at doing this too. Thanks!

nothing, it will be fine...
the front will just feel like **** until you get new ones

rear shocks are different from the fronts, if you want to replace the fronts only since they're blown - make sure you buy front shocks.
I have a set of 00 Si shocks for sale if you need.

You sure about that? Weight distribution in cornering changes dramatically when your vehicle is lowered. If it were a stock situation, I'd say it would be fine. Since he's lowered, the response rates of the blown vs. new shocks will interfere quite a bit when cornering, swerving or even simple lane changing. If you ride like that for a while, you risk wearing out the new shocks while waiting for replacements seeing as they'll be taking more load during the interim.
You can do what you want, and you may be fine, but I'd personally rather ride on four shitty shocks than two **** and two new.
