Default Rear Shocks

Can you replace the rears only if the fronts seem to be fine?
I think my rear shocks are getting a little soft?
What would be my options. Stock ?
Car is still stock
Thanks

when im driving on some roads the car moves alot like it feels jumpy but then again I can't say for sure if its the shocks fault or not.
Im waiting for my relocation brackets to see if that helps.

since you are stock you shouldnt have any problems with them I had the rear ones when i had stock springs and drove really good.

If you want rears only and are looking for a good, inexpensive, shock, get a pair of Tokico blues. I installed a pair on the rear of my son's V6 car with Bilsteins on the front and it rides and handles beautifully. Sam, WS6 Store, others carry them.
