Is there any one brand or group of brands for parts that delivers reliable choices for FIT '09 that's starting to show some wear? Approaching 100k miles and need struts as my first big repair. Looking for experienced-based advice about brands or on line catalogs to consider or avoid.

 

koni.srt orange. close to performance of oem but better.

 

Thanks for that fast recommendation.

 

I am in the same position as you are. Looking for strut replacement but can't find any first hand experience with any non OEM replacements of mainstream replacements like KYB or Monroe. I am trying to see if it's of reasonable quality to avoid paying OEM prices.
Other parts I would stick with OEM, like plugs, belts, thermostat, hoses, etc.
