Default Quadshock?

this may be a dumb question but i need to ask. if my car has the mounting points for quadshocks in the rear should i be running all 4 in the rear? when i bought it, it came with only two rear shocks. i have rr shocks and springs with eibach prokit and strange adjustables (wish i had got h&r after reading recent posts) i just have to in the rear right now? is this correct?

you should replace both quad shocks

most part stores list them as "axle dampers"

Quad shocks are pretty pointless. If you ever switch to aftermarket control arms in the rear all they do is cause tons of binding. They aren't worth spending money on to get replacement ones if you ask me. I took mine off when I installed my rear lower control arms and its pretty much binding free. On my old 94 gt I left them on after installing u/l rear control arms and it had a bunch of binding all the time.
