blown shocks?

how bad is it to e driving around on blown shocks? i beleive that only one or 2 are blown, the fronts, i plan to replace them but i havent got around to doing them, and if it isnt a huge concern, i might spend that money on other mods and change the shocks when i sell my parts this summer ...car is lowered

thanks

it sucks pretty bad. The ride quality is garbage. Not to mention that the shocks are not longer doing their job, which is to help keep the wheels on the ground. But why would you wanna keep the wheels on the ground? lol
Since the fronts are toast it would prolly make for some very crappy handling characteristics. Like if you hit a bump while turning the car would act very unpredictably.....very unsafe.

i agree it is unsafe, but heres the thing, i am selling my parts verry, soon... the end of summer so for me to invest in performance shocks would be useless if i was only using thme for such short a period. would gr2's work with stock springs?
