creek sound when i hit a bump, time for new shocks? Options

[lagos]

i have noticed that my car seems to be sitting lower in the front lately and i can hear a loud creaking sound evey time i hit a bump or just push down on the front left side of the car. does this sound like my shocks are dead?

ive been looking at what shocks are out there and the two choices seem to be KYB or Koni. if i get the koni, can i just replace the front two, or is it the type of thing where your really should do all 4 at the same time?

im guessing that if i go with kyb, i can just replace the front two because they are oem replacements?

[jgreening]

yes with the Koni u can do just the front

There is no way I would do this.

do you think they would last longer then the kyb

They will DEFINITELY last longer. If you use OEM or OEM replacement shocks with lowered springs, the life will be dramatically reduced.

the koni s in the front will help u put more of the 3s's power to the ground more so then the KYB's

Not true. A stiffer suspension in the BACK will help wheel spin on a FF car. The front suspension will have little affect.

1. why wouldn't u do this? whats wrong with doing that ?

2. How wouldn't having adjustable springs on the fron off a FF not be affective to helping put the power in the ground ? .... please don't tell me everthing i have been tought has been wrong ?
