Can you replace a single coilover?

So I totaled my 135 a few months ago from a front driver side impact. At the time I was running a H&R street performance coilovers and super sport springs. So I'm trying to figure out if I can just replace the single damaged coilover/spring set up front. Or do I ave to replace both fronts? Or is everything a lost cause?


I called H&R and it sounds like it's not a problem ordering a single, it just becomes will that ride different compared to the other three?


Anyone have any experience or advice?

You could always purchase a single coilover and send the other one in to H & R for a refresh.

I'm pretty sure its bent and damaged beyond repair. But that could be an option if I do have to buy two (to replace both fronts)

What he's saying is, buy a new one to replace your broken one, and send the other non-broken to H&R for them to make it match the new one you're buying ("refresh")
