As for the Blauparts strut/shock package, I'd worry about the quality on them as well. There are a lot of cheap & crappy Chinese knockoff parts around these days, and they'll work ok at first, but just won't hold up like the brands we know & love. Not bad if you don't mind redoing a job every 10,000 miles.

Bilstein front struts will cost around $250 each, and are well worth it. If Russianblue is right and those are rebranded KYBs, I'd spend the money on Billies, then replace the other parts as needed, just so I wouldn't have to spend the same money again in 3-4 years.
