I'm at 155k and have been thinking it may be time to start looking at suspension components to replace. The only thing i've seen while inspecting things is a torn boot on the strut (i believe). Are most of these suspension components DIY friendly...or do they require special tools, etc??

Awhile back KYB didnt even sell aftermarket for awd, only the is250awd, but the valving was different. Now they offer it, and its pretty cheap! $62 per side and theres a rebate (expires soon) on rockauto.com. Oem retails for $200 per side

Not necessarily. It depends on whether any dirt, moisture, or other contamination got inside and contaminated the grease/joint. If that happens, it will eventually damage the bearings in the joint itself. It's best to replace a damaged boot asap

Oops sorry, I was talking in relation to my BC coil overs that I replaced them with. They dont use a bearing they use a metal sleeve inside the rubber in the upper strut mount plate.
