There were changes to the suspension for at least model year 2011, perhaps earlier. I would not muck about buying used suspension components. In fact, given that your car is a 2007, I'd go ahead and replace all four at once. But then I imagine you're not looking into a used part because you have extra money lying around.

This is good advice. Used suspension is just asking for trouble. I did this, paid the install, found out the shocks were blown, took them back off, sent them off for a rebuild (bilstein) and had to install them again. They were advertised as having 40k miles on them.

I would always, always, always assume that used shocks are blown, period, end-of-sentence. I would only buy them if they were rebuildable and I planned on doing that immediately before install.

Otherwise, Konis are cheap, just buy 4.
