I took my car in for a service yesterday and they phoned to tell me the rear shock absorber needs replacing do they have to replace them both on the back

Tidgy

if its due to waer and tare have to say yes, because other one will be worn and you don't want to unbalance the car

I was told the same by carnetix. I saw the leaking damper myself when they showed me. Do I replace the 2 rear like for like with standards or upgrade all 4 wheels to better shocks with eibach springs, or go with coil overs (if someone can explain the difference).
