If you ask me, you really should wait till you get everything and then do it all at once . . depending on how much time you need to get up the cash, you can probably "baby" that blown strut till then by taking it easy on the car. When I bought my car, it had both fronts blown and leaking. I ran on those for a good 3-4mo before replacing everything.
So, I'm doing my bilsteins this Sunday (front only) and I have the OEM rears on there for now... what kind of "unusual handling" should I expect? I dont understand why this would make a difference.....

Thanks in advance....
