Need help with coil over's

I just purchased a 996 Turbo and one of the coil over's up front is broken. The upgrade was done maybe 10 years ago, I believe they are H&R coil over shocks. Can one be replaced? Or do I have to replace all of them? Thanks for your help in advance.

you'd be better off replacing both fronts at the very least. that aren't very expensive.

Do you think that will be ok? I don't track the car, street use only. Any idea what the cost would be? (ball park) Anyone else want to chime in.

I know Bilstein has a lifetime warranty on their stuff, wonder if H&R does as well given they're Bilstein-made, AFAIK...

Consider going back to stock too if you are not wanting the cost of new. I have stock from my recent install if you want to go that route
