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?

they are ok for now and solved my problem. not great, but better then the blown stocks that are on there now.

if these go out again, im considering a full tein damper setup that gives u adjustable shocks and coilovers.
