not sure I am following 100%

You bought 4 Illuminas (great shock by the way) and had to send the fronts for repair and are now riding on to blown stocks and 2 illuminas and you want to know if it will be safe?

That is kind of what I got too. If that is the question, then I would say any blown shocks/struts will be unsafe. If you are going at high rates of speeds and one corner is properly damped while another isn't your car will tend to sway side to side while the underdamped corner is oscillating. Bottom line is no it is not safe and use punctuations next time

I don't think that dust covers are required...I don't have any on, but you're probabnly better off finding some rubber ones
