I never thought CT roads were that bad. Most of us don't need shocks until 130K or so.

Bilstein TC are very good, just slightly stiffer than OEM. I had Koni Sport adjustable and kept them at the softest ride.

When you replace the struts, get new OEM bolts and nuts. The ones I got from FCP looked really weak, so much so that I tossed them. Get XC90 front spring seats. IPD has some very nice end links that last 5+ years.

For OEM parts:
