At 116k miles, the stock shocks and struts were plenty worn out. I wanted a little more damping than stock, but without sacrificing too much of the OEM ride quality. I found the Bilstein B6 shocks and struts to fit that bill.
The ride quality is superb! It has the right amount of damping in corners for the vehicle type and did not sacrifice ride quality. Highly recommend!
I bought that centric kit for my 18 Mazda 3 last year, no issues.
I buy Wix or Denso on RockAuto
I did the entire powerstop front and rear kit, has worked great, 0 issues in roughly 20k miles.
I replaced the tires on the CX9 with a set of Pirelli Scorpions and loved them. They handled very well in the wet and dry,were quiet, and did not impact fuel efficiency significantly.
For the front and rear I got Akebono ProACTs and Brembo rotors for the rear and both are wayyy better than stock in all ways. Quieter, they haven't warped, very low dust after break in compared to OEM, and they have lasted me at least 2x as long.
Amsoil Severe Gear, it's the best in the business
They were okay for me, definitely not great (Southwestern PA) but I upgraded to Michelin Cross Climate2’s and definitely recommend them.
Cylinder head ended up cracked and needing replaced for $4500.
I was actually happy that it’s not an OEM windshield because mine cracked hella easy and a bunch of people had issues with warping, so I don’t think quality was there to begin with.
