Some much needed love for my 09

These have been a long time coming can't wait to have a smooth ride again. Wheel and brakes from Rock Auto and the strut set from Amazon.

First time I've bought struts complete so it'll be interesting to see what the quality is for the price.

You'll definitely have to let us know how those work for you.

Update: Struts went in no problem but couldn't get the rotors off so I planned on having my mechanic do it when I took it to him for tires. I did about 100 miles for work on Monday and it was hard to accurately judge the ride because I needed tire so bad. Went to my mechanic and I had a heater hose blow spewing coolant and oil all over the engine bay. Luckily I was only about 300 yards from his door. Apparently, oil was getting into the coolant through a leak in the radiator and it weakens the hoses. I guess the radiator houses the tranny cooler and oil cooler so it was mixing everything together because there was oil in my tranny fluid too but no coolant in the oil so likely not head gasket. So the mechanic is replacing the rad, flushing and filling the tranny, flushing the heater system, finishing the brakes and putting new tires on. I'm "working from home" and waiting to spend a large chunk of my bonus to get my car back. I'll update after I get the car back.
