You didn't mention how you drive the car and/or what you want out of it? Does it perform well enough with the stock setup? Do you want to track it? If so, how often? Is your tire wear pattern normal/acceptable?

If the stock suspension meets your driving needs, then by all means just replace the single damaged shock and hold off on any upgrade until you need it.

If you want a little bit of an upgrade or feel that the stock shocks might be feeling a little weary, then go the HD replacement route. With 55K on the original shocks you probably have another 25K-40K miles in them before they will be getting into the "easy to justify" range for replacement (80K-100K miles). How soon you get there depends on how many miles you drive per year.

If you want to track it and/or really want a suspension upgrade, go with the PSS-9's.
