    2015 v with 67k miles has front struts leaking oil. Still rides fine (no excess bounce or other issues) but I am preparing for the inevitable replacement.

    Seeking recommendations from the esteemed counsel on PriusChatville on the best aftermarket brand for replacement, or should I stick with OEM? Complete assembly/kit or keep the original spring assembly and deal with the widow maker compressor.

    Appreciate any feedback you can provide.

    Cheers,
    Frank

    If your budget allows, I'd recommend going for the complete assembly. I've seen a lot of people recommend KYB, they say it's pretty close to OEM and the price is decent.
