My situation may be different than yours..2004 Arc with 125K and original struts. Replaced struts last summer with the Bilsteins B4s, and OEM bearings, zinc ring,bump stops, and mounts from Eeuroparts. My rational: 125K and I only want to do the job once for the next 100K. I figured it was cheap insurance.
Stay away from Uro parts. For the $10 difference in OEM vs PartsPro for bearings, its a no brainer. Also, new bump stops will help keep your struts from failing should they bottom out.
Some ppl have noted early failures of B4s, i.e. have not had good luck with them. With a lifetime guarantee, I figure I'd take my chances. They were definitely tighter than the OEM but still gave a decent ride, which was my objective.
Good luck
