Picking an Alternator !

I'm going to change the alternator on my car since the blowers off and I have some time...

I know that the stock is 110AMP and I saw this one at Rock Auto with 125AMP...anyone running one with more amperage and how do you like it ?? is $165 a pretty good price ?

There is both at Rock auto. 110AMP and 125AMP
Here it is:

Didnt know that. Well if I need to replace my alternator I'll be sure to get the amp for the i30 instead of the max.

I believe you got it wrong. 110A for 95-01

Would it even be worth changing if there not a problem...I would like to do it since I have the blower plate and blower off, but its still working so maybe I wont bother till it goes
