Default Raceland shock is blown.Looking for replacement?

I have a lowered TC 2009. The shock is Raceland brand. Lately i've been hearing rattling noise on the front right side of the car. I took it to the shop and they said the front right shock has been blown. Now i need to order new parts for the car with Raceland brand. The whole coilover set is $370. But i only need one side to replaced. Is there anywhere i can get just the Raceland parts? Or is there any alternative that wouldnt cost much? Please advice me. I am new at this.
This is the shock

^^2 year warranty.

Just contact them and ask. I also recommend replacing both the front struts, or in pairs (front/back).

I just drove mine half way across the country and back (2K mile trip). Didn't have a single issue. Put them through hell too. Random pavement loss (roads turning from pavement to dirt/gravel), construction zones with jumps (at least that's what the felt like), uneven pavement, smooth pavement, high speed cornering... Still riding fine on the crappy Cincinnati road that have speed bumps naturally form in the interstate.

Racelands aren't the best, but they do give a lot of bang for little buck. Low riding, a bit soft, but comfortable. It depends on if they've been modded to go lower. That's when things start going bad. I know many of people rocking racelands for multiple years with out issues.

Will getting both front and rear sway perform better than just rear sway? And what's the best sway set up in terms of brand.

Uh, I could answer this, but since it's not topic related, I'll choose to make you look dumb. Sorry.

Oh man, I'm so sorry. I forgot sway bars have nothing to do with 'suspension and handling.'

1.) search. I'm almost positive your question has been answered 1000 times on here.
2.) sway bars are related to suspension and handling but nothing to do with a blown racelands shock...
3.) again search. Cause not searching make you look dumb.

Yeah, raceland has a 2 year warranty. Call them up and ask for Davin Clark (i beleive clark is his last name). if you talk with him he should get everything taken care of for you, he has helped me out in the past, he does a great job
