I would replace the swaybar endlinks and use IPD version.

Unless you like a hard ride, OEM sachs/boge struts/shocks are just fine. They will eliminate the nose dive under braking.

Get OEM XC90 mounts! They will not fail.

If you DIY, watch out for the ABS sensor mounted on the strut tower. There is a center plastic pin that punches out and the sensor plastic then falls off. Do NOT try to pry it off.

There are a lot of parts suppliers, just watch out for URO knockoffs. For discount OEM parts check out:

Tasca is only online Mon-Fri, typical dealer but only 10% over cost. If you do decide to use them, your best bet is to call them and let them know exactly what you want, like new strut bolts, XC90 spring seats.
