Struts replaced
Going to do the struts on the car. Did a little searching and found several to choose from. But of course want to get some suggestions from the members on this. Also tried to search on the site for a video I think remember seeing about how to do it. Also I remember certain types had issues with exact size to fit and adjustment was needed? Anyway, any help or direction appreciated.

After replacing them I unplugged the module in the trunk and have had no problems

gabriel, what part number Bilstein? I used the replacement for an "S" with "Sport Suspension", wish I went stiffer. Phalaenx, my STR runs H&R Sport lowering springs, the ride begins and remains noticeably firmer than stock, flatter around corners, but not able to absorb modest short dips and bumps in the road, small dips and bumps...no problem. She still rides smooth on flats, otherwise acceptable. I want to go to a firmer strut/shock.

The cost is outrageous, I think about $350-$400 each

Got it -- thanks gabrielduenas! I see a module behind the spare, towards the bumper, so I assume that is it. Hard to see how to unplug, as the plug faces the trunk bottom, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Probably some tabs on the sides?
