As the title says, I noticed that I have a busted rear shock on my '07 ST (leaking oil from shock).
I don't plan on putting this 220,000Km car on the track, so what kind of shock should I get?
Should I try to replace them myself? I can imagine the bolts will be seized up and I don't have a torque wrench...well I do but it doesn't click anymore.
Thanks!

if you don't plan tracking/lowering the car a normal shock should be ok. get away with a kyb setup. getting the rear shocks our are pretty easy. 2 bolts and shes out

Tough to beat that price, especially for a brand name with a warranty.
