R56 Bilstein Struts

My Justa has 122k miles on it, and I had my rear shocks replaced this summer after they were leaking.
I just purchased front struts to get them replaced.
I will be posting updates after I have them replaced, hopefully with some pictures and thoughts!

If you have any recommendations or thoughts, please post it here.
I have attached two pictures of all the parts I purchased for the job. I'll borrow the spring compressor at a local Autozone.

I have found that those are slightly better than the stock struts. They also hold up much better to potholes and uneven roads for extended amounts of time compared to some or the more track centered options. You should be happy with those especially for their relatively modest cost. Let us know what you think.
