Well my driver side rear shock is bad. I kept hearing my exhaust scrape against the ground whenever I'd turn right but it didn't make sense until I got under the car. My shock is govered in oil. So I'm pretty sure that means it's shot. I was just wonderin if it's worth it to replace the shocks with more sporty shocks and if it makes a difference. Also, I hear the rear shock mounts rot out when the car gets old especially with sport shocks. Help me out here you suspension maniacs.

I think it is a good idea to match rear sport shocks with sport shocks or struts in the front. If you only plan to do the rear, go with what is there now. I did mine recently and yes I replaced the mounts. It was extremly easy and took 15min per side
