Changing front struts, any recommendations?

[Raptor#2018]

Hello everyone, i want to change my front struts on my 2018 cx9 any recommendations, should use aftermarket EBAY parts or OEM ?

I think quick struts are hit or miss. For suspension parts my vote is OEM.

I've had KYB quick struts installed in the front since May. They are holding up well.

How many miles? I'm at 80 and have noticed any 'float' yet.

Given how well the OE is holding up, I'd be temping to stick with OE.

I like Bilstein but they do not have an offering for the CX9.

I think I had around 330,000km when I replaced the fronts. The rears are still original.

The fronts were not leaking, just old and tired. They did not sag much compared to the new ones.

I blame the worn feeling on hard cornering and bad roads. Otherwise, I think I may have just left them alone. The rest of the front suspension has been rebuilt too.

Rears feel good.

Have you done front control arms yet?

My dealer telling me mine need to be replaced as bushings are worn / torn.
