    Quick Question. . .

    My front struts are bad and need to be replaced,
    is it fine if I replace only my fronts with Bilstein Sports,
    or will I need to replace the stock rears?

    Also if I bought some H&R Sport springs will they be fine on my rear stock struts?

    If you replace the fronts and plan to keep the stock springs, get Bilstein Heavy Duty's. You can also get Bilstein Tourings or Boge Turbo's if you don't want to spend as much. If you plan to get the H&R's, go ahead and get struts designed for shorter springs....Bilstein Sports or Koni Adjustables.

    Not much point in buying performance springs and leaving in the stock rear shocks.

      You can replace just the front struts and you should use Bilstein Sport or Koni sport shocks with those H&R Sport springs. Bilstein Sport shocks are too short for OE springs, so is is rather an all or nothing in that regard.

      You can use the H&R Sport springs with OE shocks, but even if good they'll have a short life. My bet is that if the front struts are bad, the rear shocks are in even worse shape.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
