Pairs mate

Replace both. I got a pair from the stealers for £116 and it takes no more than 15 mins to fit them and i'm no expert with the spanners

Is it possible to fit cup rear shocks to a non cup and what kind of improvement would this give to the rear stability ?

Would say that you wont gain much, the shocks are balanced in with the springs. With more progressive shocks the car could be a bit more tailhappy but I cant say how much harder the cup shocks are.
