Front NS shock has given up the ghost. Probably going to go for Bilstein B8s as I'm running Eibachs (which are probably the cause of the issue!!), but wondering if I should replace all 4 or just the front pair? Any thoughts or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
 
Ok, thanks. So I'm ok running a different front and rear set up? Or maybe I should just go OEM front shocks again?
 
Get the rears check, there most probably dead as well. I thought mine were ok but after removing them they had nothing left in them, that was @ 80k
 
Not being funny but if you're putting Bilstein B8s on the front with OEMs on the rear, there is a significant disparity in bump and rebound between front and rear.... The B8s are a sprint-damper, the OE ones are...well..... OE....!

Personally I'd replace all of them, but then I'm anal-retentive when it comes to stuff like this. In reality with a softer rear and harder front the worst you'll get is more oversteer ;) Which is fun at the end of the day hehe!
