Please help! Replace CATS shocks with Standard?
Gents,
My car is at the shop right now as I'm having my neighbor/friend replace my upper shock mounts while I'm at work. He just discovered that the lower strut bushings are shot (see picture), and he said "the entire shock needs to be replaced because it's all one piece". I have the CATS suspension but new CATS shocks are out of my budget right now. Can I replace them with standard shocks? I'd like to get this fixed today if there is any possible way. Please help!

You can replace the bushings, just need to press them out. I have a new set front and rear if you want them.
But to answer your question, you can replace them with the standard shocks, just need to unplug the controller in the trunk to prevent the error message on the dash. It's in the spare tire well, at the rear, slightly to the right hand side. Held in by a 10mm nut and the connector is a long narrow one.
