I imagine I need to replace the rear struts but my question is this - has anyone had luck with aftermarket parts or do you stick with OEM stuff?

Some of the aftermarket trunk struts are pretty decent.Most of the time they are almost as expensive as the OEM ones.Im not sure if you have Pep Boys buy you but you can try them if you do.They are pretty cheap on prices for them only.Everything else is pretty expensive.Also if they ask you if you have a spoiler tell them yes.They are heavier struts.
