Yes, change both. The improvement in the ride will be grand.
$ 190.00 is about as good a price as I found when I did mine about 6 monthes ago.
Have you thought about doing the springs at the same time ?

I always do replacements/upgrades in "pairs" "sets" whatever the case may be.
I definately would do BOTH shocks / check FCP groton for low cost replacements.

The folks in the know recommend both as there is a wear factor on the old one which would most likely give an uneven ride. The remaining good one will not be as good as the new one. You don't have to, but it is recommended.
