I thought I noticed a bit of sag after several days sitting. Leaking left-front air bag confirmed. 2006, 170k miles, original struts.

On my 07, I used Arnott replacements. I’m not unhappy with them, and they were reasonably priced. I wouldn’t call them stiff, but they seem maybe a bit harsh over some bumps.

Does anybody have experience with the Bilstein struts or other recommendations?

 

BWI is OE

 

Yup, BWI is OEM. BWI bought out Delphi many, many moons ago. You can get a BWI set to the US for about $450 with shipping being about $120 of that from LRParts.net Shipping sucks. But still far, far cheaper than all the US sellers - some of which will lie and sell you generics as OEM cause they can not be trusted at all. I just bought a pair a month ago. Arrived in four days via DHL. The ride quality is amazing, so much so that I want to do the rears soon even though they are not leaking but simply very high in miles.

 

BWI’s from LRParts are on the way. Thanks!
