What's the recommended strut / top mounts with the tractives? Keep oem or get tractive top mounts or another brand?

Disappointingly one of the refurbished Tractive rears developed lost gas pressure on the final test drive so will be going back, car has been off the road for 8 weeks now.

This is exactly my fear with aftermarket setups. Vs just going oem about being done with it. Sorry to hear that man.

Yeah I hear you, I had Bilstein B16 on for years and no problems whatsoever, this sequence of events are not filling me with confidence

I guess I am having problems with my left front shock. Its noisy after warm up. Its scratching/clunking sounds. Someone told me that the DU bushes in bilstein shocks can be bad and someone in UK do rebuild them for 150 dollars?

What do you think?

Yes. Replaced passenger front. Left and right are identical. OEM Part is updated. Not sure what is new.
