You will be happy with those struts. Way better than oem or bilstein struts.

Good call ordering the OME's!
Since you're going to have everything apart, i'd also recommend replacing the spring isolators and upper strut mounts. They're all wear items and probably don't have much (if any) life left with 120k+ miles.
Aaaaaaand just another suggestion... if you're going to take it all apart, why not get the OME HD springs as well, build the entire strut assembly and swap the whole thing in while removing the front RC spacers? (thats what i did )
Good call on the upper strut mounts and isolators. I sould have done that when I put the RC spacers on in the first place.
While it's apart I was planning on replacing all the ball joints. I'm guessing the lower CA bushings could probably use replacing too. I'll most likely have to take the whole front end apart anyway since I can't get the strut saddle mounting bolt out of the bushing. Maybe if I can get it on my workbench, I might have better luck than fighting with it under the XK.
I've also seen people changing out their whole upper control arms. Is that because it's almost as cheap as changing out the bushings? I know I just got done putting on new LCA's on our spare car, a 2002 Civic because they only cost $40 each and included the bushings. New bushings would have been about half that but I would have spent the time getting the old ones out.
I think I need to hold off ont he OME HD springs for now though....I need an excuse to take it apart later
Can Jon beat kolaks price on 4 bilstein HDs?
