Ditto on no real 'weak spots'. Replaced struts on our '99 SE 2.3t with Bilstein HD's at ca. 170K miles. Not as sporty as Koni's or the Bilstein Sport struts, but probably a little firmer than originals when the originals were new. At that distance the rear bushes on the front lower arms were not absorbing shocks so well, the sway bar links had slop, and so did the ball joints. Strut bearings (top) could have been reused, though I had ordered new ones and used them.
You should be good for a while.
