That is dependent on the spring, not the shock.

ok guess im fucked, ride hight seems lower then usuall, and when it comes to comfort, well its gone, its hard to explain how it feels when im driving. also the front right wheel is kind of slanted into the fender, would say like 2" more then the left side, could it be fucked.

Yeah, I know...I just wasn't sure if a blown shock would sieze or not expand all of the way and leave the spring somewhat compressed. My left rear sits slightly lower than the right side, which is why I was asking. The suspension is stock.

Could be. Check your suspension components, especially the shocks, springs, and perches. Make sure the perches are all tightened. Sounds like you have a serious problem, though.

So if I run 375f , 300r will this be a good street set up so I am not bouncing all over the place similar to cutting coils?

With the right shock -- like the Koni Yellows for example -- 375/300 will work fine. You must have a stiff enough shock to dampen the spring, so if you don't run them on full soft, you won't get that bouncy ride quality.

if you're going to spend most of your time on the street, you could come down to 300/250 as long as you don't lower the car so drastically that you run out of suspension travel.

Also, do not cut or torch your springs... ever.
