Default Did the whole thing late summer last year @ 130k miles
I went unconventional and picked up a full set off of eBay and had a local shop install for cheap. So far (now at 145k miles), everything seems to be holding up fine.

Yep, did mine just after 100k. Really refreshes the car, makes it feel like now again.

Default since everything was appart it is easier to just replace everything instead of having to
take it apart a 2nd time.
