How bad are your current struts? Is your car bouncing around like a school bus ? If not, I might just try riding it out until you save for the Bilstien B6's. Buying a used oem set off here might make you have to do the work twice. Be careful when doing strut swap/spring work. High tension always makes me nervous.

They are all fine except the driver front. It's completely done. No option but to replace. Sucks I'll be doing the work twice, but that's just kinda what it is for now unfortunately.

Indeed it sucks. Replaced a strut with a used one. Wasnt good so I had to take it off, swap it with another one and then reinstall. At least you learn how to do it fast... How're your strut mounts currently? Getting a used set of them as well or you just going to use your current ones?(which im assuming are hella worn as well).

A friend of mine is doing it, and said everything else is in good shape. As soon as I'm done with grad school she'll be getting way more attention. Plan on getting something else so down time doesn't matter.
