Swap to coilovers ?
Hello folks.. I see coilovers sold in sets of 4. Are they sold in pairs for front and rear? Can only the front be changed first and then the rears later when more monies are in the accounts? Will it cause ill effects on handling? Reason I ask is.. my front end is clunking, 99% sure it is strut related so I am contemplating coilovers and camber plates but I do not have the $$ to do everything I need/want to do and only want to do the front right now. Currently, The car sits on what I believe are MR Billies that are pretty ratty looking from the winter road salt.. the yellow flaked off and they are a little rusty. Mileage is unknown because it's not what came on the car. Currently stock wheels w/ 235/45's but I will be upgrading to an 18" w/ 255 or 265 rubber for summer and putting my 215/50 Dunlop WinterSports on the stock wheels for winter.. The main reason I want coilovers is to adjust ride height for the summer and winter. The ability to jack the car for winter duty and drop it in the summer is king ! Or is that not the way it works?? 
A company might sell you the fronts but it seems doubtful as nobody would recommend such a path. They might give you the same look as if you were to walk into a shoe store and only ask for a single shoe. Either save up or budget for something cheaper like replacing your bilsteins

Exactly this...save your money and buy all 4 coilovers....you won't regret your decision.
