Does anyone know if you can buy replacement struts for the rear Hfp suspension?? I've been told that mine are blown because It's leaving flat spot on the two rear tires.

That's new to me, I've never heard of blown shocks causing flat spots on tire.

You can't buy individual struts as far as I know.

Sounds like u need an alignment.

they told me that the car is bouncing on the rear and causing flat spots uneven surface all around the tire. They said it's a typicall sign of blown shocks.

Yeah just have someone drive behind you. That's very noticeable right away. The wheel will literally bounce all the fuck over

it's that noticeable. I don't feel my car bouncing all over the place, but my 2 tires in the rear has a wave pattern on the inside. Will the stock SI struts work in the Hfp springs?

I can feel that my rear right strut is blown and i don't get flat sports.
si struts have a different damper setting than the HFP.

blown struts won't cause a flat spot. it will however cause the tire to wear unevenly and "feather." which I think is what you're getting at. As far as the HFP is concerned, im with powdbyrice in never remembering a time that you could buy the HFP ones separately. esp now that they're discontinued. You're better off getting aftermarket replacements at this point
