I apologize if this has been answered already. I did a search and came up with nada as far as the CX-5 goes.
Anyhow, my CX-5 is getting ready to hit 60K miles and I'm getting ready to throw on some new tires. So, I figured it'd be a good time to replace the struts/shocks since I'll be getting the alignment done anyhow. However, as I've Googled around I have found a surprising lack of replacement struts/shocks. Tire rack of course has a couple of pricey Koni options, but I'm sorry it's a CX-5 not a MazdaSpeed3 I don't see a need for super-wham-a-dyne suspension components. I did find the OEM struts/shocks of course. However, they are nearly as expensive as the Konis. Other than Koni and OEM I have yet to find any other replacement options. I guess I just find it hard to believe that a car that's been on the market for 3-4 years and is relatively popular would have so little aftermarket support for suspension components.
So, my question is have any CX-5 owners replaced their struts/shocks yet? If so, what brand did you go with? Please let me know if I've missed something or haven't been looking in the right place. Thanks!
