I'm sorry but the KYB complete strut assembly contains the exact same strut I would buy stand alone. Not sure what *quality* you're referring to? I'm looking to make the best use of what little free time I get to work on things, that so wrong?

If you have a negative attitude about the car, you'll never like it, so you might as well "throw it at the dealer and buy a new camaro" like a boss.
After 166K miles in about 6 years, I think it's safe to say this isn't about if I like the car, it's more about salvage or sell. It's got to make it another year (averaging 25K) and a 3000 mile drive cross country before I could dig into an engine refresh...or maybe it's best I just cut bait!
