Shocks
I have an 06 AT at around 98000 miles. I need to replace the rear shocks and was wondering if it would be best to replace both the front and back or just the rear. Also if you have any suggestions for what shocks to get. I don’t have a very large budget, my parents want something comfortable but I want something a bit more sporty. Any input would help.

You only need to replace the rears if the fronts are still good. The main thing is to always replace them in pairs. I use KYB Gas-o-Just shocks on my AT RX8. They are very good shocks as they ride well at cruising speed but will become stiffer when you drive more aggressively.

you’re like a bottomless well of bad advice. The front shocks also have 98,000 miles on them. There’s no way they’re still effective. Just because they’re not leaking etc. doesn't mean they’re any good. They were probably done over 50k miles ago. Just putting a pair on the rear is not a good strategy at all for effective handling and tire wear in general.
