I went with the NGK rutheniums as they're also rated for 100k and were slightly cheaper on Rock Auto than the iridiums. Supposedly they maintain fuel efficiency longer over their life than iridiums
After 160k miles, finally changed the brake rotors. Got the Bosch Quietcast rotors and paired it with the Bosch Quietcast brake pads. Was a pretty simple project, and would highly recommend! Haven’t heard a squeak or anything. Definitely “quiet.”
One additional benefit is that the Duralast Coils have a free replacement for life. FWIW I put about 4 coils on my old 2007 and never had one fail over the course of 5 years and ~50k miles.
Valeo titanium wipers are pretty decent and not too expensive.
I\u2019ve had an ac delco alternator from rock auto in my Honda Fit for 7 years now.
Get the alternator tested. I have a 2013 Fit Sport 5spd and these symptoms happened to me. Pending your budget, try to avoid replacing with a rebuilt alternator. Get either the WAI or Mitsubishi (which is oem) ones as they'll last longer and more reliably.
I think I got TYC housings from rock auto for about $300. No issues with aiming them and the cut off was much more clear than my faded oem lights. They came with bulbs but the headlights were really dim so I replaced them. At first had some moisture problems but that went away. Think they have capa certification also.
The KYB Shocks and Quick Struts made it a brand-new car.
EXCEPT, with the OEM suspension, it never rode so WELL.
The vague, plush, sloppy feel of OEM felt like crap. No steering response or any road feel, anytime you tried to avoid a pothole in the road, you seemed to hit it.
I eventually got a set of Pirelli tires and upsized to 205-50/16s. Earlier this year I ran over a nail but the tire couldn't be patched because the puncture was too close to the tire edge. When I went to get another I was told that Pirelli tires were backordered because of the pandemic. So I opted for two new Falken tires at the same size because I want the tread to match on the rear axle.
I had to replace the starter in my 2015 at only 75k miles. Highway miles at that. It was not a cheap starter either.
