Default Back Shocks Only?

So my economic situation just experienced some complications and I'm looking for budget options. I dont want to by some half *** alright shocks only to replace them later when I want more from my car, so I thought maybe I could just replace the back shocks then move to the front when my wallet allows. I really need back shocks. So I can swing the cash for Konis in the back and maybe get Konis for the front next month. Any down side to this? Really what I want to know is will I notice a big difference overall and will I **** anything up? I'm no suspension guru so this is all new to me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly just changing out the rear shocks is not going to be detrimental to anything. I would just recommend changing the front soon after that way you have a nice handling well balanced car. We have the Konis in stock so let us know if we can help you out.

Thanks for the reply. I did figure it would hurt anything. And I would be getting the front shocks/springs by the end of the year if I were to change out my rears.

I have changed them out at different times mainly due to the relative time it takes to do the rear (quick) compared to the front (longer). It was only about a week of driving in between though.

I would suggest just saving and getting the shocks all at once though. No need to just get half the set now if you are only waiting a month. But if the rears are really so terrible it won't be the end of the world only replacing the rears now.

If you save up and buy them both together we actually offer a package that will essentially give you a set of our lowering springs since you save about $250 by buying springs with Konis from us.

^ save up and spring for the package. Just don't drive aggressively and you'll be fine.
