Regular Starter or Upgraded

Lately my cars been starting very slow when it sits for a long time. Not even if its after a drive. If its sitting over night, it turns over very slow. Feels like it has no juice.

The engine has 20k roughly on it. Battery is a yellow top optima around 2 years old so thats not the issue. Coils, wires and plugs have about 20k km on them.

Im pretty sure its the starter. What do you guys think ?? I was wondering if its worth getting the upgraded starter and where would be the cheapest place to get it.


Thanks

Bump before i order the new starter. I went to partsource to check battery but their volt meter wasnt working properly apparently. Could be altenator too. The starter is about 8 years old so im assuming its that.
