Alright so my rear passenger side shock went out and now when i go over bumps it the fender lip cuts into the the tire .

So im looking to replace them. I check just now and they have gabriel Pro Ryder Premium Gas Shocks.

I did a search on google and couldnt find these damn things.

Does anyone know of a place that sells them and also how good are these shocks? They were on the car when i got it.

And is it ok if i get a different brand? I think the fronts are the same. I don't know if you can mix and match them..

you can mix and match... shouldnt make a difference.

Mixing and matching may not be a great idea; different shocks have different damping and the shock(s) with of course different damping will act differently, which might cause the car to be unbalanced. And those Gabriel shocks are very poor; if you can afford to pay around $300, go for Bilstein HDs if you are sticking with your stock springs.

Alright well im about to replace the shocks and i was reading the write up from someone else and it said to remove the wheels.

Now cant you replace them without removing the wheels??

Because i lost my lock key and i really dont want to have to bust these things off..

You can do the rears without removing the wheels... but not the fronts.
