Rep Power: 737

I have a 90 accord and one of my front shocks are blown, i have performance shocks and adjustable coilovers, the car is dropped about 1.5-2"...I dont feel like getting new performance shocks cause i only need the car to last another 3 years...is it bad driving with blown shocks? im pretty sure there's no oil in them anymore as i have a big puddle of oil in my garage but it doesnt bounce much or bottom out much either may be cause the other side is still fine...or if you would know how long the stock shocks would last if i were to put them on, any suggestions?

you should get atleast some used shocks from the classifieds as a blown shock can cause premature tire wear. The tire will begin to cup and you might find yourself spending money on new tires. Shocks arent that expensive and with the you having adjustable coilovers you can even install them yourself (no need for a spring compressor). The reason i think your shock blew in the first place is because u most likely have generic spring rate coil over sleeves on a good shock. What happens is the spring rates aren;t set out for your car properly and cause most of the abuse to be given to the shocks rather then the spring and shock acting together.
