Im not an expert on aftermarket pieces by any means. But if they are going to replace only 1 shock, I'd go ahead and replace both. Even if you still put OEM back in. Shocks degrade over time and their dampinenig abilities diminish. Having a brand new shock on a corner with 3 worned down shocks elsewhere is going to give you uneven handling on right and left turns, possibly under acceleration (tho power is not something we have a ton of...).

You said you would be replacing springs with RCE, why not go ahead and get Bilstein b6 or something like that to go along with. It might even be a chance to go with coilovers if you ever planned on that down the road.

You car, your decisions of course, so dont dig too much on what people say and make your own conclusions. Be careful out there and dont let this bump, time to level up!
