Should shocks be replaced in pairs?
Tried searching but couldn't find an answer. I have a blown rear shock, should I replace both sides or will I be ok just replacing the one side?

It would be a good idea on your part to determine why one of your shocks blew, though (and not the others). Or else you run the risk of paying for more new shocks to replace more blown shocks because you never solved the cause of the problem.

I think my problem was that I over tightened it. I was trying to tightening it full hard at autox and I twisted right through the stop. Something must of stripped internally.
My coilovers are Ksports which seem to have a reputation for blowing.

The shocks are only 120 shipped. They would rebuild for that price but I didn't want to wait for the coilovers to be shipped back to me. A shop should be able to put the spring back on for 50 dollars or less.
